WhatsApp today stops supporting messenger on older smartphones

From today, February 1, as promised, WhatsApp will stop supporting its application on older

smartphones.

What does it mean

Operating systems Android 2.3.7 and older, as well as iOS 8 and older, are removed from the messenger support list.

For WhatsApp to work properly, you need to update to the following versions:

  • Android 4.0.3 and later;
  • iPhone with iOS 9 and later operating system;
  • Some phones running KaiOS 2.5.1 and later, including JioPhone and JioPhone 2.

This does not mean that on older OSes messengerwill stop working - it just may not work correctly. “Because we are no longer actively developing these operating systems, some features may no longer function at any time,” the company warns.
