"WhatsApp to End Support for Older Android Phones from January 1, 2025
If you're still using an Android phone that's over 10 years old, it's time to consider upgrading. Meta has announced that it will be ending support for WhatsApp on older Android phones that run on Android KitKat (Android 4.4) or earlier versions.
According to a report, smartphones running on Android KitKat or earlier versions will no longer be able to access WhatsApp from January 1, 2025. WhatsApp continuously updates its user interface and privacy settings, which requires features that are compatible with the latest Apple and Android operating systems.
This means that if you're using an older Android phone, you'll need to upgrade to a newer device or risk losing access to WhatsApp. The company has not specified which exact devices will be affected, but it's likely that many older Android phones will no longer be supported.
It's worth noting that WhatsApp has been gradually phasing out support for older devices over the years, and this latest move is part of that ongoing process. If you're concerned about losing access to WhatsApp, it's a good idea to check your phone's operating system and consider upgrading to a newer device if necessary."
