WhatsApp Messenger is an internationally available freeware, cross-platform, centralized instant messaging (IM) and voice-over-IP (VoIP) service owned by American company Meta Platforms. WhatsApp possesses one of the most popular applications among its users. But due to the sheer number of devices that the application must support, all older devices may not always support WhatsApp. With more new features coming to the platform, some older, outdated phones are set to lose WhatsApp support after December 31, 2022.
For this decision, some devices are taken into consideration, including some Android phones by Samsung, Huawei, and other brands as well as some Apple iPhone models. Notably, most of these devices are pretty old, so chances are users may have upgraded to a newer phone since. Check the list that is below, we have collected from our best source.
