WhatsApp regularly stops working on old devices, and the next batch comes. Indeed, no less than 49 devices will no longer be compatible with the messaging application from December 31. Find the full list in this article.

WhatsApp regularly deploying updates, sometimes older devices can no longer keep up. On October 24, for example, the very popular messaging system stopped working on iPhones running iOS 10 and iOS 11. This time, it’s the turn of Android smartphones (and only two iPhones) to be excluded from the party, not being efficient enough to run the application.

Nevertheless, it is not uncommon to see old smartphones still in circulation. Unfortunately, if yours is on the list, then you will no longer be able to use WhatsApp from December 31st.
