WhatsApp messaging will stop working for some smartphones starting May 31

Some of the 2 billion users of WhatsApp instant messaging will find themselves unable to use it from May 31.

Its new version will become incompatible with older versions of Android and iOS.

Indeed, each year, the company has taken the habit of sorting out the smartphones capable of accessing its application launched in 2013, discarding the versions deemed obsolete.

Already in the fall of 2021, WhatsApp, which can boast of having 7 billion voice messages sent every day, had decided to put aside several devices deemed outdated.

Since November 1, users of smartphones over five years old with versions prior to Android 4.1 and iOS 10 could no longer access application updates but could still continue to operate despite certain malfunctions.

About fifty models concerned

In a few days, about fifty phone models that do not use the required version of iOS or Android, will simply no longer be able to use the application, if they do not update their Android or iOS.

Here is the list: Apple iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, lеnоvо а820, zте v956, нuаwеі асеnd d2, асеnd g740, ascend mate, fаеа f1, аrсhоѕ 53 рlаtіnum, нтс dеѕrе 500, ѕ Mini, Galaxy Xcover 2, Gаlахy а sheet 2, Gаlахy соrе, Саtеrріllаr, Саt В15, ѕоny хреrіа м, Wіkeо, сіnk fіvе, Darknight, тнl W8, Zте Gruаnd х, Optimus F7, Optimus L3 II Dual, Optimus F5, Optimus L5 II Dual, Optimus L3 II, Optimus L7 II Dual, Optimus L7II, Optimus F6, Optimus L4 II Dual, Optimus F3, Optimus L4 II, Optimus L2 II, Optimus F3Q.

A quick look in your settings will allow you to determine if you are concerned and if you want to continue using Whatsapp, you will then have to update your operating system.

For other phones, the new features of the new application will allow reading outside the conversation, a preview of the draft or even the memorization of the reading.
