As happens periodically, some iOS and Android devices will no longer be able to support WhatsApp. This time the date to be marked on the calendar is that of Tuesday July 1st When the support for support for the most obsolete smartphones will take place.
Where it can no longer be used
All users who have one of the list devices will have to know that if their cell phone does not support the most recent updates, they will no longer be able to use the most used instant messaging app in the world. In detail, this is the iPhone 5, 5 CE 6 as regards the iOS operating systems, Samsung Galaxy S5, LG G3, Sony Xperia Z2, Motorola Moto G of the first generation and Huawei Ascend Mate 2 as regards the Android.
The note of Meta
“Devices and software are subject to frequent changes, therefore we periodically review which operating systems we support and perform the necessary updates “, The WhatsApp engineers in the FAQ area are known. The review that is carried out regularly is necessary to understand “which devices and software are less recent and have fewer users“. In fact, technology advances constantly not only for the introduction of artificial intelligence but because every year increasingly advanced devices are placed on the market that require constant updates.
The reasons for the interruptions
For this reason, therefore, older and dated cell phones can gradually meet this type of critical issues such as the failure to work WhatsApp. Meta stresses that the telephones indicated above “may not have the most recent updates for security, or they may not have the required features to perform WhatsApp“. So doing, the developers still explain,”We have the possibility to support i (models, ed) more recent and to keep up with technological developments“.
To continue to take advantage of WhatsApp, therefore, the expert advice is to try to update the smartphone with the
more recent version of the operating system. If your hardware does not allow this operation, the only solution will be to equip itself with a more recent smartphone that has more versions to iOS 15.1 and Android 5.0.
