DARA- Some of the smartphone lists below starting November 1, 2021 will no longer be able to use the WhatsApp application because they no longer support the operating system (OS) version.
A number of mobile phones that do not support WhatsApp generally have an Android OS lower than version 4.03 (Ice Cream Sandwich), while for Iphones, those are under version 9 and older.
Quoted by entrepeneur.com, this policy was implemented to focus its efforts on the latest generation of smartphones, to ensure optimal application services.
Even though WhatsApp no longer supports these smartphones, it doesn’t mean that the WhatsApp application will stop working soon.
The reason the smartphone was ‘blacklisted’ by WhatsApp was because the operating system would not be able to access security updates. This is dangerous because it becomes a target for hackers to steal user data.
