WhatsApp will roll out many new features to its app in the coming months. But these features will not be tasted by a number of mobile phones (HP) because they can no longer use WhatsApp as of November 1.
The instant messaging application owned by Facebook has shared a list of iOS and Android devices that will not be able to enjoy the service in November on its official page.
HP on the list will no longer receive support from the application and will not be compatible with WhatsApp. This effort is done by WhatsApp in order to focus its efforts on the latest generation of smartphones, to ensure optimal application service.
In general, the affected devices are devices with the same operating system as or lower than Android 4.0.3. Or, for iPhones, devices with iOS 9 and older.
