WhatsApp: The Most Used Instant Messaging App in the World
Until December 2022, the most well-known instant messaging application, WhatsApp, had over 2 billion unique users worldwide. This makes it the most used instant messaging app in the world, far ahead of Telegram, which only has 700 million users.
Compatibility Issues with Older Smartphones
While Meta's app is compatible with Android and iOS phones, it is regularly updated and these updates can cause the app to stop working correctly or entirely on some "obsolete" devices.
Smartphones That Will No Longer Be Compatible with WhatsApp
WhatsApp will update in the coming days to offer new tools and fix certain bugs. However, this means it will stop working correctly on some smartphones.
Why Does This Happen?
WhatsApp stops working precisely because of the lack of maintenance or technical support received by devices that have been on the market for many years.
You won't be able to use WhatsApp if you have any of these phones.
