Starting tomorrow, these phones will no longer have WhatsApp.

At least twice a year, WhatsApp updates have a significant impact on dozens of mobile phone models. Although their updates occur more frequently, some of them are “mandatory” and require functions are only available in the latest versions of operating systems Android and iOS. And the ones that cannot be updated are the mobile phones that remain “by the way”.

To function properly, a meta-application requires certain memory, processing, and security parameters. Some Smartphone models do not have such a large memory capacity after many years of use. (usually this begins to happen after the sixth or seventh year) and when you try to update the latest version of the operating system, errors begin to appear, applications do not open, memory consumption increases sharply and errors become more frequent.

The latest update will affect phones from major manufacturers. among them Samsung, Apple or Huawei, and if you do not have iOS 12 or Android 5it will happen to you. Here is a list of the main victims.

If we take into account the models that will be left out of the popular social network, the accounts will give us 7 to 8 years of life for our phones if we depend on WhatsApp. So if your phone is close to this limit, It’s time to think about other devicesnot necessarily new, but modern.
