THESE 49 SMARTPHONES WILL NO LONGER SUPPORT WHATSAPP AS OF DECEMBER 31st SEE COMPLETE LIST
Starting on December 31, WhatsApp will stop supporting as many as 49 different smartphone models. You will have to upgrade to a newer model if your smartphone is on this list in order to keep utilising the instant messaging service.
Exactly what will stop working?
On handsets made by a number of different manufacturers, such as Apple and Samsung, WhatsApp will stop functioning. This suggests that owners of such phones won't be able to receive updates from WhatsApp beyond the set date, including new features and security patches, and the service would finally stop working for them.
It should be emphasised that the majority of the listed devices are ancient and likely only utilised by a very tiny number of people. Therefore, the vast majority of smartphone owners globally should not worry about the support cancellation.
