WhatsApp support ending on select phones from September 8: Check if yours is affected
WhatsApp users with outdated Android devices need to take note – the messaging platform will no longer function on phones running Android versions below 6.0 after September 8, 2026.
Meta’s messaging service is raising the minimum operating system requirements. Currently, WhatsApp works on devices with Android 5.0 and above, but this is about to change. From September 8, only phones running Android 6.0 or later versions will be compatible with the messenger app.
