WhatsApp to stop working on old Apple, Samsung devices and more: Here’s a list of phones impacted

People are holding onto smartphones longer than ever. According to Statista, most people in the US keep their devices for at least two years and seven months before upgrading, with some using their phones until they break. If you have an older phone and use WhatsApp constantly, you might need to upgrade to a newer device to continue using the app.

A report by CanalTech indicates that WhatsApp will stop updating and functioning on over 35 smartphones from vendors like Apple, Huawei, Lenovo, LG, Motorola, and Samsung.
