Whatsapp will stopp to working on millions of people’s phones after 1 February 2020

News24xx.com -  Whatsapp is the world’s most popular messaging service and it's used by more than one billion people. 

But now, a lot of users could soon be stopped from using that app because it’s no longer compatible with millions of smartphones. 

The issue is caused by a recent version 2.18.90 update, which removes support for some older devices. 

Whatsapp plans to stop support for all iPhones running iOS 7 by February 1, 2020. It's means anyone who owns an iPhone 4 or earlier will have to buy a new phone. 

Now, Whatsapp has made its latest update compatible only with phones running iOS 8 or later. As later versions of iOS cannot be installed on the iPhone 4 or earlier models, the app will no longer be available for new users. 

However, if you started using Whatsapp on an iPhone running  iOS 7, you will still be able to use the older version of the app until February 2020.

Last year, WhatsApp dropped its support for Nokia Symbian S60 phones. On December 31 2018, it will do the same for Nokia S40 handsets and then devices running Android 2.3.7 and older after 1 February, 2020.
