WhatsApp is the largest and most popular messaging platform in the whole world, it is used on over 2 billion iPhone, Android, and other phones, and starting from January 1, 2021, it will be blocked on millions of them. We are talking about a normal process that WhatsApp goes through every year, the platform blocking access to certain older phone models for which it can no longer offer support in its official applications.
WhatsApp has decided that starting from January 1, 2021, access to its application will be blocked for iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, the iPhone 6S, all these phone models being old, but some are still used by many people . Basically, WhatsApp has decided that any iPhones running iOS 9, or an older version, remain without access to its application, so you should update to a newer version, if you can, or buy a newer model of the iPhone.
WhatsApp: ATTENTION! BLOCKED on iPhone, Android from January 1
WhatsApp it will also be blocked on certain Android phone models, specifically, those with Android 4.0.3 or an older version, and here we are again talking about hundreds of millions of models that will be affected. The number of units that have not yet installed this version of the operating system is large, so that all those who use WhatsApp on those devices will remain without access to the application even starting from midnight of this day.
WhatsApp it does the same thing every year, as I've already told you, so we're not talking about anything new for the people who use the platform every day, unfortunately for everyone. This means that many people will have to buy other phones, or update to a newer version of Android in order to continue using WhatsApp, or alternatively, they can give up the messaging app altogether, which of course they don't. it will be liked by many.
WhatsApp will continue to provide updates in the future for people who use the application, and this means that the process of removing old phones that can no longer receive support will continue.
