What App will stop working on millions of old phones from today, November 1st.
Facebook-owned message application is halting support for older versions of OS and Android operating systems.
That means they will no longer receive security and software support that could result in errors or security exploitation.
If you have one of the oldest models affected and you want to continue using whatsapp, you will have to update your operating system.
However, in some cases, you may need to update your entire cell phone”.
So, whatsapp will stop working on up to 43 different smartphone models after changing requirements.
According to section FAQ on its website, WhatsApp, says people should use phones with Android OS 4.1 or iPhones with iOS 10 and younger.
But some selected devices that could still be thousands in use will lose the security and updates of features.
For example, if you're using an iPhone 6, you'll have to update. But if you're still using an iPhone 4, you don't have such a destiny.
Here is a list of smartphone models that WhatsApp will not support from today.
This does not necessarily mean that the app will cease to function, but it does mean that you will no longer be able to access “conital update”, which may leave it open to confrontations or error or, in some cases, safety exploitation.
