End of the era! WhatsApp will stop working on these mobile phones starting June 2024

Due to the large number of users around the world, WhatsApp is one of the applications that undergoes the most updates. The latest will make the messenger incompatible with some mobile phones from June 2024.

Therefore, anyone who wants to continue using the app to exchange text messages, videos, photos, and other files should update their device to a newer version. Otherwise, using WhatsApp will be risky for information security.

Why will WhatsApp stop supporting certain phones?

WhatsApp updates tend to make some mobile phones outdated, especially when it comes to usage. Among the most important reasons we can mention:

• Increase application size: The internal storage capacity of the device makes the cell phone run slower.
• Incompatibility in app stores: For example, using the App Store or Google Play will be impossible, as the message “Device not supported” will appear. In other words, there will be no way to install the app.
• Scheduled expiry: It will be possible to use WhatsApp for a longer period after the new update. However, its use will be limited and resources will need to be updated. In this case, for the reasons mentioned above, this will not be possible.
• Incompatibility with new features: The device’s hardware will not be able to meet WhatsApp’s new needs, making it unusable.
