It affects up to 20 million users … The WhatsApp application disappears from old phones

The number of WhatsApp users around the world is about 2.2 billion, and it is the most downloaded application globally (Reuters)

Many users of old mobile phones will not be able to run the “Whatsapp” application due to the updates made by the management of the most downloaded application in the world.

In a report published by “Le Temps” Swiss newspaper, writer Anoush Sedtagia says that the new update, which was approved by the WhatsApp administration beginning this month, will affect millions of users worldwide.

The first phase of the modernization process was in January 2019, when the service available on Facebook was canceled for about 20 types of Nokia phones.

In early 2020, the application was no longer available on some old iPhones running the seventh version of the “iOS” system (IOS), and these changes included the iPhone 4, smartphones running Android 2.3.7 and earlier versions.
