OLDER ANDROID SMARTPHONES TO LOSE WHATSAPP.
Written by Edith Ahurira on October 24, 2023
This bloom of technology is growing to become a necessity with its everchanging updates and upgrades. WhatsApp has activated its plan to scrap off its app from the older versions of Android and iPhone. This means that if you are using any android 5 and below your WhatsApp will be deactivated.
Among the affected devices are the popular Samsung Galaxy and the venerable S4. Additionally, iPhone SE users have also been advised to ensure their operating systems are up to date to avoid any potential disruptions.
“To keep up with the latest advances in technology, we routinely stop supporting older operating systems to point our resources to supporting the latest ones. If we stop supporting your operating system, you’ll be notified and reminded a few times to upgrade your device to continue using WhatsApp.”
Users now have to purchase newer models of phones in order to use this platform. Critics on the other hand say, its quite unfair to the users to make these changes and upgrades without considering the affordability of the newer models on the market. Considering the fact that WhatsApp has become one of the major messaging and communication platform in the world.
If you still have any of these models, its time for you to jump on a new model. That boyfriend telling you to be understanding must consider buying you a new phone otherwise, WhatsApp is not being understanding.
