WhatsApp Delivers a Big Shock to Android and iPhone Users
In a major move, WhatsApp has announced that it will stop supporting old phones starting October 24, 2023. This decision has shocked customers who use Android and iPhone devices, as WhatsApp is one of the most popular instant messaging applications in the world, with over 2 billion monthly active users.
There are several reasons behind WhatsApp’s decision to stop support for old phones. Firstly, older phones may not be able to support the security updates required to protect against vulnerabilities. Secondly, these devices may lack the features and capabilities needed to run the latest versions of WhatsApp. Lastly, WhatsApp wants to focus on developing new features for users on newer versions of the operating system.
Specifically, Android devices running on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean or earlier, as well as iPhones 5, 5c, and 5s will be affected by this decision. Users who are impacted will need to upgrade their phones to a newer version of the operating system if they want to continue using WhatsApp. For those unable to upgrade their phones, they will need to find an alternative instant messaging app.
While this move by WhatsApp is expected to have a significant impact on millions of users globally, it is also likely to encourage users to upgrade their phones to newer versions of the operating system.
