After December 31st, 47 Phones Will No Longer Support Whatsapp (See Full List)

Due to operating system compatibility difficulties, META-owned platform WhatsApp has revealed that the app would cease to function on a total of 49 handsets this year.

According to a statement from the platform’s proprietors, the change would have an impact on millions of users globally because they won’t be able to upgrade after December 31.

Some Huawei, LG, and Samsung phone models are among those with older versions that can no longer use WhatsApp.

When the deadline passes, owners of the impacted phones will receive messages on their phones informing them that they would no longer be able to use Whatsapp.

According to a statement WhatsApp released regarding the development, “We routinely stop supporting outdated operating systems to direct our resources to maintaining the current ones in order to keep up with the latest technological advancements.

If your operating system is no longer supported, you will be informed and given many reminders to update your smartphone so you may keep using WhatsApp.

We frequently analyze and update the operating systems we support as hardware and software change rapidly.

The most recent security updates may not be installed on some devices, or they may not have the features needed to run WhatsApp.

Every year, like other technology businesses, “we look at which devices and software are the oldest and have the fewest amount of people currently using them” to decide what to stop supporting.
