WhatsApp is over on these mobile phone models which you will be informed about at the end of this article. But why has the most used messaging app in the world stopped working on certain devices? This article will also answer this question, which is very popular among users.
Along with the ongoing news announced for the app, such as voice calls with 32 people, reaction to messages with emojis and the location of businesses using WhatsApp Business, this update has been released. The news may have surprised some users and they will have to change their devices if they want to use the messaging app normally.
Why will the app stop working on these models?
As reported by WhatsApp representatives, the app will stop working on older models starting in 2023. According to the app, these models will no longer be compatible. Users of these mobile phones who want to continue using them must purchase a mobile phone compatible with Android 4.2 systems, called Jelly Bean, or iOS 12.1.
The app will stop working on these models as they no longer support the latest operating systems. In addition, another feature that is highly requested by users is the implementation of the “accidental deletion” option. This function serves as an opportunity to reverse a message that has been deleted by mistake.
Before, when someone deleted a message by mistake, there was no turning back. However, the new version has been tested for a few months in the beta version of the messaging app. There is still no official release date for all users.
