Due to constant updates to the app, it is no longer compatible with some iOS and Android models.. There is a list of cell phones without WhatsApp from July 1, users can check that this is not their own case.
Which cell phones are compatible with WhatsApp?
As explained by the WhatsApp Help Center, some models are outdated and lack the ability to support security-related updates and new software changes.
Currently, the Meta app is compatible with the following devices:
- Phones with Android OS 5.0 and later versions.
- Phones with iOS 12 and later versions.
- Phones with KaiOS 2.5.0 and later versions including JioPhone and JioPhone 2 devices.
