WhatsApp will stop working on 1 million Android smartphones by the end of October

Instant messaging service WhatsApp will stop supporting the application on Android 4 operating systems; The messaging app will need Android 5.0 or newer in 2014. The changes will come into force on October 24.

WhatsApp management audits supported platforms every year and disables support for older operating systems with a minimum number of users. Devices running these operating systems may not have the latest security updates and features required for WhatsApp to work. Owners receive appropriate messages from the messenger before device support is turned off.

WhatsApp will work on devices running Android 4.1 and above until October 24. From that moment on, users of Android 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 will lose access to the application – according to some estimates, the number of such devices today exceeds 1 million. With the arrival of 2023, WhatsApp stopped working on iPhone 5/. 5c and a few dozen older Android smartphones.
