Last minute warning from WhatsApp: It will no longer work on these phones. Attention, Romanians

Time 28/03/2023 By myhoneybakedfeedback

WhatsApp is one of the most popular applications for communication, and this news is not exactly good for its users. WhatsApp will stop working on some phones in 2021.

WhatsApp has announced that the app will no longer work on any Apple phone older than the iPhone 4. Also, the iPhone 4S, 5, 5S, 5C, 6 and 6S need at least iOS 9 to run. It should be noted that the iPhone 6S, 6S Plus and the first SE model are the last to receive the iOS 14 update, so the situation is not so dramatic on the iPhone.

WhatsApp will no longer work on devices with operating systems older than "Android 4.0.3" and "iOS 9"

Android phones have evolved a lot and it is unlikely that you have one of these old models. But in any case, if you use them, from 2021 you should switch to something a little newer to use WhatsApp.

The application will no longer work on Android phones with an operating system older than version 4.0.3. This includes models like LG Optimus Black, Samsung Galaxy SII or HTC Desire, notes Entrepreneur. We are talking about phones that turn ten years old. Thus, those with older phones who want to continue using WhatsApp need to upgrade their operating system with the best recent software available.

In Europe and Romania the list may seem strange, but in poorer countries these phones are still used, in a fairly large proportion. Also, if you needed a reason to upgrade, maybe now is the time to think about it.

On WhatsApp's official website, it lists all the operating systems the app will be compatible with, as well as the ones it won't work on in 2021. Maybe that's a good enough excuse to give yourself a late present for Christmas, if you won't be able to use this year's app on your current phone.
