These are the cell phones that will run out of WhatsApp in July 2024.

Regular app updates not only add new features and improvements, but also introduce stricter privacy and security requirements. This means devices with older versions of iOS and Android, especially those below iOS 10.0 or Android 4.1they will gradually lose the ability to effectively manage the messaging platform.

From July 2024, the list of devices will no longer be able to access the application.which could affect a significant number of users who are still dependent on older mobile phone models and will be forced to look for solutions to communicate with family and friends.

The mobile phones that will be excluded from WhatsApp starting in July include many models from different brands such as Samsung, Apple, LG, Huawei and Lenovo. These devices, due to outdated versions of the operating system, will not be able to receive the necessary updates for further optimal use of the application.

These devices, since they are not compatible with iOS and Android versions above iOS 10.0 and Android 4.1 respectively, will be subject to WhatsApp restrictions from the above-mentioned date. Users who own any of these models should consider upgrading their device or purchasing a new one that meets the minimum requirements to continue using WhatsApp without interruption.

If you own one of the phones mentioned and want to continue using WhatsApp after July 2024, we recommend you consider the following steps:

• Make sure your phone meets the minimum operating system requirements specified by WhatsApp.
  
• If possible, check if updates are available for your device. On Android, you can do this by opening the Settings or Preferences app and finding the Software Update section. On iOS, go to Settings, then General, and select Software Update.
  
• If your phone can’t receive operating system updates or doesn’t meet the minimum requirements, consider purchasing a new device that supports the latest versions of iOS or Android.

If your mobile phone is on the list above, it is best to make a backup. The procedure in this case is as follows:

1. Open WhatsApp.
2. Go to settings.
3. Open the Chats option.
4. Then select the “Backup” option.
5. Click “Create a copy now”.
6. Wait for the process to complete, which may take about 30 minutes.
7. The backup will begin downloading to the Drive account associated with Google.

Now the data will be saved in the cloud and when you log in to a new mobile phone, all information and contacts will be restored. a process that occurs automatically when you log in with the same account.

It is important to have enough space in your Drive profile as there is a 15 GB limit on this platform.which is used in conjunction with the Photos app and Gmail emails.
