WhatsApp to stop working on some older smartphones from 2023

Meta-owned WhatsApp will reportedly stop working on older iPhone models as well as android phones. As many as 49 smartphones won’t be compatible with the messaging app starting from January 1, 2023.

 

A report states that the Meta-owned social network will stop rolling out updates from December 31, which will eventually lead to WhatsApp service shut down on these smartphones. The list includes popular names like Apple, Samsung, HTC, LG and Sony Xperia among others.

 

Users with older iPhone models will have to upgrade their handsets to iOS 12 or newer while Android users will be required to Android OS 4.1 or later to continue using WhatsApp. This means iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c users will no longer be able to use WhatsApp on their phones. The report suggested that this step could force iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c users to upgrade to a newer iPhone model.
