Starting in July 2023, several phone models will be without WhatsApp support, which means they won’t be able to access the app or receive future updates.
To avoid surprises, it is important that users verify if their mobile device meets the minimum requirements necessary to continue using the popular messaging application.
WhatsApp has notified that cell phones with a version lower than Android 4.0.4, iOS 9 or KaiOS 2.5.1 will no longer be able to access the application. This implies that those devices that do not have an updated operating system will not be able to enjoy the new functions that are added in the future. Features such as sending 60-second videos, fingerprint chat protection, taking surveys or screen sharing during a video call.

To know the operating system of your phone, you can follow these steps:
On iOS devices:
Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone. Scroll down and tap on “General”. Next, select “Information”. Look for the “Software Version” or “Software Version” section to find the version of the iOS operating system installed on your phone.
On Android devices:
Open the “Settings” app on your Android phone. Scroll down and find the option “System” or “Phone information”. Depending on the make and model of your device, you may need to tap “About phone” or “Software info.” Look for the option that says “Android version” or “Software version” to see the version of the Android operating system installed on your phone.
Checking the operating system of your phone will allow you to determine if you will meet the minimum requirements to continue using WhatsApp after July 2023. In case your device is on the list of those affected, it is recommended to make a backup copy of your conversations on WhatsApp. So when you get a compatible device, you can restore your individual and group chats to the way they were before access was interrupted.
Remember that it’s important to stay on top of app updates and requirements to ensure you maintain functionality on your mobile device.
