A number of users have moved to social media to express concern over the fact that their devices will not be able to run WhatsApp.
Malcolm Holt wrote, on his Twitter account, that he would not only buy a new iPhone to use WhatsApp, so he would only rely on Facebook Messenger instead.
Belgin Savaci described the move as “unfair”, claiming that she does not have enough money to buy a new phone.
The move came a few days after WhatsApp stopped supporting Windows smartphones, as WhatsApp said: “You will no longer be able to use all Windows Phone operating systems after December 31, 2019, and WhatsApp may not be available in the Microsoft Store after July 1, 2019. . “
