Users of 43 different models of smartphones will soon be unable to use the popular instant messaging app WhatsApp.

On November 1, the Facebook-owned platform will stop working on phones that run on systems older than Android OS 4.1, Apple's iOS 10 and KaiOS 2.5.1, according to its FAQ section.

All of these phones will not receive support from WhatsApp and will be incompatible with the app.

If this includes your device, you'll need to upgrade to a newer model of phone that has an operating system the company supports – or use a different messaging service altogether.


Before this, iOS chat histories would be stored in iCloud, while Android histories went to Google Drive, making it nearly impossible to transfer chats between phones that use different operating systems. Users would be advised to instead email their chat histories to themselves.

The new feature encompasses voice messages, photos and videos, but not call history or display name.

"To start, this feature is available on any Samsung device running Android 10 or higher, and will be available on more Android devices soon," said WhatsApp.

The migration will also need to be completed during the initial set-up of new phones, as the WhatsApp instructions read: "Your new Android device must be factory new or reset to factory settings." Users would alternatively need to do a factory reset of a device if already using it.
