That technology makes long leaps forward is nothing new. Due to technical specifications, various smartphone models are often incompatible with some applications. An example of this is the messaging application Whatsapp, which constantly publishes a list of devices that lose support for the App.

Since Wednesday, February 1st, several smartphone models have stopped supporting WhatsApp. This happened due to the old version of the operating system running on the devices. In other words, its version is no longer compatible with the version required by the company.

In short, notification of the end of support for devices is linked to older operating systems. But after all, what happens to those who own these devices?

See below the list of 35 device models that stopped supporting WhatsApp in February/23:

Apple

Huawei

Lenovo

LG

Samsung

Sony

ZTE

Other brands

It is important to mention that the devices mentioned in the list use an old operating system, and were launched 10 years ago.

If you have a cell phone model listed above, the question that remains is “what now?”. In short, although the devices will no longer receive new updates, the App will continue to work for now. That is, you will still be able to use the application.

However, the operating system version will no longer be supported. In other words, if WhatsApp releases an update, owners of these devices may lose access to the App.

Therefore, even if the app works for now, it is important to look for an alternative, newer phone so as not to lose access to the messaging app.

The end of WhatsApp support is nothing new to anyone. This is said because the platform publishes a constant list of devices that have lost support for the application.

An example of this is that in January 2023, the platform released a list of 47 device models that also stopped supporting WhatsApp. See the list below:

Apple

ZTE

HTC

Huawei

Lenovo

LG
