More than 50 phones will not be able to use or download WhatsApp, a major social media platform owned by Facebook, starting from November 2021.
According to a report by The Sun, the site is claiming that phasing out support for older models of phones – iPhone and Android, can help keep the app secure.
However, the publication disclosed that phone users can update their Android and iOS versions to at least 4.1 to be able to enjoy the service, Daily Advent added. A publication from express.co.uk noted that these phones range from Samsung, Huawei, and many more.
