Smart phones that will no longer be used to use WhatsApp
Washington (Daily Pakistan Online) WhatsApp has officially terminated support for several old iPhones and Android smart phones.
According to private TV Geo News, it is no longer possible to use WhatsApp in these old phones in simple terms. It has been applied since June 1 and will not be able to use WhatsApp if you are using iPhone or Android phones before 2014.
According to the company, WhatsApp can now be used only in iPhones that work on iOS 15.1 or after operating systems. Similarly, this messaging app can be used on Android devices that will contain Android 5 or then operating systems.
By the way, the ban was to be implemented from May 5, 2025, but an update was made by Apple so that older iPhones users could be ready for this change.
From June 1, it was not possible to use WhatsApp in iPhone 5S, I6, iPhone 6X, Galaxy S3, HTC One X and Sony Xperia. More WhatsApp can be used for years.
WhatsApp's users interface and privacy settings are constantly improved, which introduces features that are compatible with Apple and Android's latest operating systems. This is why support for older operating systems is often eliminated by the company.
The WhatsApp statement said that every year we see which devices and software are old and their users are very low, these devices do not have the latest security updates or lack the functions that are necessary for the WhatsApp.
By the way, this new change will not affect those using new iPhones or Android phones, but there is still no shortage of people who use old phones.
According to an estimate, about one percent still work on these old operating systems.
