WhatsApp To Block Millions Of Phones From November
According to WhatsApp, the application is due for an upgrade that will not be compatible with certain phones and will affect both Iphone and Android users who will not have updated their operating systems by the set date.
“WhatsApp will no longer support Android phones running OS 4.0.4 and older on November 1, 2021,” reads a statement on the Whatsapp FAQ page.
For people who have Iphones, the WhatsApp FAQ page reads: “WhatsApp for iPhone requires iOS 10 or newer.”
In addition, there are Phones whose operating systems cannot be updated. These users are therefore advised to either buy new phones or save their chats to avoid losing them.
“Please switch to a supported device or save your chat history before then,” adds WhatsApp.
