Mumbai: Meta owned social media messaging platform WhatsApp has decided to end support for older Android devices from 2025. Starting on January 1, WhatsApp will no longer work on Android phones running Android KitKat or older versions.
WhatsApp is ending support for older Android devices because the hardware on these older devices is not capable of supporting the new features coming to the app. So, people using older Android models would need to upgrade their phones in order to continue using the personal messaging app.
