WhatsApp alert! App won’t work on few smartphones from November 1: Check full list

WhatsApp will stop working on a few smartphones after days starting from November 1, 2021.

New Delhi: WhatsApp will reportedly stop working on a few smartphones after days starting from November 1, 2021. The messaging app’s parent company Facebook had announced the termination of WhatsApp’s services from select devices last month. 

The reason behind the termination of services on such smartphones is that WhatsApp will no longer support older versions of Android and iOS to ensure that the app’s safety and user privacy is maintained. 

According to WhatsApp, users with smartphones supporting Android OS 4.1 and iOS 10 and above will continue using the app without any hiccups. However, those using smartphones with older operating systems are all set to lose access to WhatsApp. 

WhatsApp users can also head to the WhatsApp FAQ section to check the list of operating systems that won’t be able to run WhatsApp from November 1, 2021. These operating systems include Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, iOS 9, and KaiOS 2.5.0. Also Read: All indicators pointing towards sharp economic recovery: Piyush Goyal
