Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Starting November 1, a number of cellphones are said to be no longer able to WA or access the WhatsApp platform. So what?
This is because WhatsApp has a new policy to stop access on phones with old OS. These policies apply to Android 4.0.4 (Gingerbread) or earlier and iOS 9 or earlier.
“Starting November 1, 2021, WhatsApp will no longer support phones running OS 4.0.4 and earlier versions. Please change to a supported device or save your chat history before that date,” WhatsApp wrote, Wednesday (13/10/2021) .
Starting next month, HP with the old operating system will no longer be able to use the WhatsApp function. For example, verifying login to existing accounts and creating new accounts.
For phones that fall into this condition, they are asked to change devices or update the OS on each phone.
The following is a list of cellphones that have lost access to WhatsApp as of November 1, quoted by Mysanantonio.com:
