The most popular mobile apps worldwide, WhatsApp will stop working on millions of phones in the next couple of months as the company withdraws support for some older mobile platforms.
Any iPhone running iOS 8 or older will no longer be supported, along with any Android device running version 2.3.7 or older.
Users of these operating systems are already unable to create new WhatsApp accounts or re-verify existing accounts.
Furthermore, WhatsApp withdrew support for all Windows phones from December 31, 2019 — the same month that Microsoft ended support of its Windows 10 Mobile OS.
WhatsApp said ‘because we no longer actively develop for these operating systems, some features might stop functioning at any time’.
