The popularity of WhatsApp is no longer to be proven. It is more than likely that the application is installed on your smartphone, whether you use it regularly or not, even if you have a recent or older smartphone. However, if you find yourself in the latter case, it is better to check on which operating system it is running. Indeed, you may soon not be able to use WhatsApp.
It often happens that the application ends up no longer being compatible with old smartphones. Some waves are bigger than others, but the sentence is always the same: support ends, forcing users to upgrade to a newer device to continue chatting. The next wave, for its part, will therefore take place on September 1, 2023.
