WhatsApp has recently announced that it will no longer be compatible with a range of older smartphones, affecting users who use devices that cannot run the latest software versions. In order to continue using WhatsApp without interruptions, users must have a smartphone running at least Android version 5.0 or later, iOS 12 or later, KaiOS version 2.5.0 or later.
Several Samsung models will no longer support WhatsApp, including Galaxy Ace Plus, Galaxy Core, Galaxy Express 2, and Galaxy Grand. Motorola models such as Moto G are also on the list, along with Apple models like iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, and iPhone 6. Huawei models like Ascend P6 S and Ascend G525 will also no longer support the messaging app.
It’s crucial for users to check whether their device is running a compatible software version in order to continue using WhatsApp without interruptions. Users of Lenovo, Sony, LG, and other well-known brands should verify whether their model will no longer be supported by the app.
