With billions of users worldwide, WhatsApp is a very popular and helpful messaging programme since it keeps adding new features. However, WhatsApp occasionally stops supporting older smartphones that are unable to implement the new features and get security upgrades to protect them. Over 35 Android and iOS devices combined are reportedly going to lose WhatsApp functionality in the upcoming weeks.WhatsApp has ensured that it regularly changes the minimum system requirements to run the messaging app on smartphones. Additionally, you need an Android phone running version 5.0 or higher due to the latest update. In a similar vein, you require an iPhone device that supports iOS 12 or later. It is therefore imperative that you update your smartphone as soon as possible if your device is still limited to supporting software versions lower than these. Otherwise, you risk losing access to the well-known messaging service.The fact that you have 35 phones losing support across Android and iOS means brands like Samsung, LG and Sony feature on this list.SamsungMotorolaHuaweiSonyLGAppleBy heading to Settings > About Phone > Software Version on Android, you can find out what software version is installed on these handsets.
