WhatsApp made an important announcement for users today iPhone from all over the world, the company behind the messaging platform announcing that it will no longer offer support for certain mobile phone models, including some iPhones. Those from WhatsApp announced in 2016 that the application will no longer work on phones such as the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, and now the list of those compatible with the platform will be substantially reduced by the Americans.
WhatsApp will stop working on iPhones running iOS 7 starting on February 1, 2020, so in more than a year and a half from the point where this announcement is made. WhatsApp has announced that it will no longer update the application for those platforms due to the fact that they are very old and it is not worth the financial effort to provide them with support.
WhatsApp: IMPORTANT Announcement for iPhone Users
WhatsApp doesn't just give up support for iPhone phones, but also for other platforms that are old and don't deserve to have a functional application anymore, some of them even from this year. In the case of Symbian S60, the WhatsApp application will no longer work from the end of the month, while Nokia S40, Blackberry OS, Blackberry 10 and Windows Phone will no longer be able to run the application on phones after December 31 of this year, and for them approx. it was time
"You won't be able to use WhatsApp on the following platforms for: Nokia Symbian S60 after June 30, 2017, BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10 after December 31, 2017, Windows Phone 8.0 and older after December 31, 2017, Nokia S40 after December 31, 2018, Android versions 2.3.7 and older after February 1, 2020, iPhone iOS 7 and older after February 1, 2020."
WhatsApp very quickly abandons the platforms for which it does not think it should provide support, and the removal of the above from the list of those that should allow the application to run is not a surprise to anyone, or it should not be. WhatsApp is a platform meant to connect people from all over the world, but it was expected that the applications would stop working on these old platforms at some point, and everything has become official at this moment.
