Whether it's due to an old system version, lack of memory, or some other problem, the fact is that at some point, your phone will lose its full usefulness. Especially when it comes to using apps. So, here are some phones that will probably no longer be able to access WhatsApp in a short time. Check them out below.
No WhatsApp
Last Wednesday, August 30th, some smartphone models stopped receiving WhatsApp updates, making the app incompatible with these devices. But how do you know if your device can lose WhatsApp? We'll answer this question shortly.
Specifically, if your device is running iOS 12 or lower, or Android 4.0.1 and lower, you may be more affected by this update. However, there is one interesting piece of information that you should know. You can still use WhatsApp without updating, which may give you a little more time with the app on your smartphone.
However, this may mean that some new features may not be available. In addition to WhatsApp, there are other messaging app options like Telegram that may be compatible with your existing devices.

What's new in the app
THE WhatsApp Chat was launched on Thursday, July 20. According to Meta, the platform's official chat aims to keep users informed about the latest news related to the messenger.
The tool was announced in March and had been tested with a small group of people, but it is now available to a wider audience. For example, the company will use it to roll out improvements included in the latest update of the app.
The news was announced via a post on WhatsApp's Twitter profile: “Introducing WhatsApp Chat. Our official chat will share the latest tips, tricks, products, and privacy updates that make WhatsApp even better for you. Stay tuned for our first chat about two-step verification,” the company said in a statement.
The WhatsApp Chat feature is expected to reach out to those who have the messaging app installed to share news and tricks that make it easier to use the platform. Right at the launch of the new channel, users will receive tips and information about two-step verification, to improve account security, for example.
