Why does WhatsApp stop working on old cell phones?
WhatsApp clarifies that it annually carries out checks on older Android and iOS (iPhone) software that have a smaller number of users.
After this assessment, the application may stop receiving security updates, which represents a concern for the user, since bug fixing is an ongoing process in any application. Additionally, older operating systems will not be able to support the new features that WhatsApp introduces.
My cell phone is in the list. What should I do?
As WhatsApp launches new features, existing cell phones need to have a compatible operating system.
If your cell phone is on the list above, unfortunately you will need to change your cell phone if you want to continue using WhatsApp. As the app gains new features, it is necessary to have a device that has a more modern operating system. If you intend to purchase a new cell phone to last a few more years, opt for models with Android 12 or higher.
We currently have models that run Android 13, and even some that are ready to receive Android 14, the most recent version of the system at the moment. To find out which devices will receive this update, check out the list below:
