ALERT: WhatsApp will not work on some iPhones and Android phones from January 1

WhatsApp will stop working for some iPhones and also select Android smartphones starting January 1, 2021. This piece of news should worry all WhatsApp users around the globe, but we suggest you just calm down.

This is because the WhatsApp support is ending for smartphones running on an outdated operating system (OS). Some reports making round on the internet suggest that iPhones running on OS older than iOS 9 and Android phones running on OS older than Android 4.0.3 will not support WhatsApp starting January 1.

The decision to end support for these models should not be a problem for you because most iPhones and Android phones currently run on a newer operating system. However, if you are still using a smartphone running on older operating system WhatsApp recommends upgrading the mobile device before the service is interrupted.
