jpnn.comJAKARTA – WhatsApp announced that it has set minimum requirements for support for phones that use their application.
WhatsApp has announced that it will stop supporting phones that still use the Android 5 and iOS 12 operating systems.
This is in line with Google’s decision to no longer provide update support for Android 5 or Lollipop.
Using WhatsApp on older devices may result in functionality and security compromises.

A total of 35 phones will stop receiving WhatsApp updates starting July 2024. Here is the list: (canaltech/jpnn)
