WhatsApp won't work on these smartphones any longer

 Newer gadgets are often released, while older ones frequently stop supporting WhatsApp. In actuality, the messaging app would cease to function on more than 49 devices as of December 31. The entire list can be found in this article.

WhatsApp frequently makes upgrades, and on occasion, older devices become unusable. So, for instance, the popular messaging app ceased working on iPhones running iOS 10 and iOS 11 on October 24. Additionally, at this time, only two iPhones and a number of outdated Android cellphones would no longer have access to the messaging software.

Naturally, given we're talking about older models of cellphones, there's a strong possibility you've subsequently updated to a different one. But it's common to find old devices being used in today's world. Sadly, effective December 31, WhatsApp will no longer be accessible if your phone is on the list.

These are the people who were affected. The total number of gadgets in this one is 49; therefore, we've ordered them alphabetically to make it simpler for users to search.
