WhatsApp Support to End for Millions of Phones in 2025

WhatsApp has announced that it will no longer support millions of phones from 2025. According to the messaging app, Android devices will be unsupported from January 1, 2025, while iPhones running iOS 15.1 or lower will be unsupported from May 5, 2025. The affected Android devices include a range of models from Samsung, Motorola, and Sony, including the Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, and Xperia Z. On the iPhone side, the affected models include the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus. This means that users of these devices will no longer be able to use WhatsApp, and the app will no longer be available for download on these devices. The announcement has left many users worried about their ability to stay in touch with friends and family who use WhatsApp. The exact reasons behind the decision are not clear, but it is likely that WhatsApp wants to focus on supporting newer devices that have more advanced features and better security. The move is also likely to be a blow to users who are still using older devices and may not be able to upgrade to newer models. WhatsApp has advised users to upgrade to newer devices to continue using the app. The company has also promised to provide more information about the decision in the coming weeks and months.
