WhatsApp is a widely used instant messaging tool that constantly receives updates to improve the application. However, sometimes the app may stop working on certain devices due to compatibility issues or because older phones cannot handle the new features. As of May, Meta, the platform that owns WhatsApp, will no longer support the application on several smartphones worldwide, including Samsung, iPhone, Motorola, Lenovo, Huawei, and LG models.
Meta explains that these decisions are made to enhance the security and efficiency of the application, ensuring that only newer models can support and adapt to the technical capabilities required. This means that older devices may no longer be able to use WhatsApp as effectively as newer models.
While this news may disappoint some users who rely on older phones to use WhatsApp, it’s important to note that these decisions are made in order to ensure that users have access to a secure and efficient messaging experience. As technology continues to evolve, it’s likely that we’ll see more updates and changes in terms of which devices are supported by various applications like WhatsApp.
