By the end of March, WhatsApp will no longer be available on these devices

WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app with billions of daily active users from all over the world. The messaging app is compatible with the majority of smartphones on the market today, although the platform occasionally becomes useless due to software versions that have become outdated or obsolete to the firms.

And WhatsApp is making it plain that from March 31 onwards, any phone running any Android, iOS, or KaiOS versions will be unable to utilise the messaging software.

WhatsApp has provided the information on its FAQ website, giving us a clear sense of which versions would no longer support WhatsApp after this date.

Android Phones: WhatsApp will cease operating if your phone does not have Android 4.1 or above. You will need a phone number or an SMS number to validate your account.

iOS Phones: Users of iPhones running iOS 10 or later will be able to utilise WhatsApp on their devices. Apple is presently selling iOS 15, which is compatible with iPhones that are three to four years old. WhatsApp advises against using jailbroken iPhones.
