WhatsApp will end this week! Your support for more than 30 cell phone models will end, affecting the routine of many users. 

This measure is necessary due to the lack of updating these older devices, as specified in the published list. 

Therefore, read this text to find out more and check if your cell phone is among those affected by the interruption of WhatsApp updates.

WhatsApp will end this week

Starting this week, more than 30 cell phones may face restrictions in the use of the application Whatsapp

This is due to the fact that these older devices will no longer support the updates required for the latest version of the app. 

As a result, the application may stop working suddenly.

To deal with this situation, many people have chosen to exchange their devices for newer models in order to continue using WhatsApp. 

If this change is not made, use of the application will be terminated on the affected devices. It is important to highlight that the Whatsapp requires regular updates to ensure its proper functioning and user safety.

Understand why WhatsApp may stop working

It is common for cell phone applications to undergo updates to improve their security and add features. 

However, over time, older cell phones may face incompatibility issues with instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp. This can lead to difficulties in use, slowness and, eventually, the inability to download and use the application.

From May 31st, cell phones with an operating system Android prior to version 4.1 It is iOS 12 (iPhone and iPad) will no longer be able to install the WhatsApp application. 

This restriction is due to the need to support newer features and the lack of compatibility with older systems.

This way, WhatsApp will only end for cell phone models considered older.
