WhatsApp will no longer be compatible with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) starting Tuesday (24). For this reason, the application no longer works on mobile phones that have stopped at this version.
As of now, the app runs on Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or later. In the case of iPhone (iOS), there will be no changes and the app will continue to support iOS 12 or higher.
WhatsApp says it is notifying users in advance of the end of compatibility. Meta, the owner of the app, and Google, which is responsible for Android, do not provide a list of devices where the app no longer works. Information from g1.
According to WhatsApp’s explanations, the application scans older Android and iOS (iPhone) programs with a smaller number of users every year.
After conducting the survey, the application may stop receiving security updates, which is a problem for the user, as bug fixes occur constantly in any application.
“These phones may not have the latest security updates or may not have the functionality needed to run WhatsApp,” he explains. The company says this procedure is normal in the “technology sector.”
