WhatsApp to Discontinue for These Galaxy Phones in the Coming Days

WhatsApp is undoubtedly the most popular social media application. The main reason behind its success is based on its features, which give users more security and privacy. Over the years, the team of developers has introduced many new features and enhancements that engage users with up-to-date utility advantages.
However, with time, WhatsApp has evolved its interface and compatibility with more innovations, so with the gradual evolution, the company has set new parameters or system requirements to make the application work more smoothly. So from time to time, it has deactivated the services on the older devices. Let’s understand which devices will be impacted this time.
The compatibility of the application depends on some hardware requirements and some specific software requirements. However, being a normal social media application, WhatsApp doesn’t require high-end system requirements; it only requires the latest software in the form of an operating system.
According to the information, WhatsApp is no longer available for Android devices running on Android versions that arrived before Android 5.0. Meanwhile, if we talk about Apple devices, the application will be active only for Apple devices working on iOS 12 or later. Along with this, the application is also not getting new updates for the devices running on KaiOS 2.5.0 and later, including the JioPhone and JioPhone 2.
