Galaxy, iPhone, and so forth. These are the phones that WhatsApp will not work on starting March 1
Meta's messaging app is getting more demanding with the integration of features like ChatGPT and new developments that plan to take Mark Zuckerberg's platform to the next level.
As a result, devices running older versions of Android or iOS will not be able to continue using WhatsApp due to incompatibility. This means that if your phone is on the affected list, your conversations will be inaccessible, as you will not be able to update or install it in any way.
New features coming in 2025 will now have different minimum requirements, which is precisely what has left many phones out of the company’s plans. So what kind of smartphones will not be able to run it? Find out all the affected models below.
Here is a list of those who will definitely not continue with the green app:
iPhone 5.
iPhone 5c.
iPhone 5s.
iPhone 6.
iPhone 6 Plus.
Samsung Galaxy S3.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Samsung Galaxy Ace 3.
Motorola Moto G (1st generation).
Motorola Razr HD.
Motorola Moto E 2014.
LG Optimus G
LG G2 Mini.
LG L90.
LG G2 Mini.
Sony Xperia Z.
Sony Xperia SP.
Sony Xperia T.
Sony Xperia V
HTC One X.
HTC One X+.
HTC Desire 500.
HTC Desire 601.
These will be the devices that will be primarily affected by this major change to the platform. After March 2025, users with phones that do not meet the new requirements should receive a warning in the form of a notification.
The goal is to upgrade to a higher operating system so that the app can run smoothly. Additionally, if you try to access the app, you will surely get some error messages and the same will happen if you install the app as an APK file.
