With millions of users all over world, WhatsApp since it's introduction in 2009 has become one of the most widely used instant messaging apps in the world. The facebook-owned app announced earlier this week that it is going to drop support for old devices.
Here's the list of operating systems that won't work:
- Android versions older than 2.3.3
- Windows Phone 8.0 and older
- iPhone 3GS/iOS 6
- Nokia Symbian S60
- BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10
The following operating systems will still work but you can not create new accounts on them:
- Nokia S40
- Android versions 2.3.7 and older
- iOS 7 and older
If you use any the above listed operating systems, we recomment you upgrade the OS (if possible) or get a new device. There's also good news and that is, in the next updates we should expect group calling for both audio and video WhatsApp calls.
