WhatsApp to Stop Working on These Phones Soon

End of Support for Older Operating Systems

WhatsApp, the popular messaging app, has announced that it will stop working on certain phones running older operating systems. This is due to the app's ongoing efforts to improve security and reliability.

Affected Devices

The following phones will be affected by the change:

• Android phones running Android 4.0.4 or earlier
• iPhones running iOS 10 or earlier

Users of these devices will no longer be able to create new accounts or use existing accounts after December 31, 2022.

Recommended Actions

Users of affected devices are advised to update their operating systems to the latest version as soon as possible. If an update is not available, they will need to purchase a new phone in order to continue using WhatsApp.

Importance of Security Updates

WhatsApp emphasizes the importance of security updates to protect users from potential threats. Older operating systems lack the necessary security features to keep users' data safe.
