One of the most popular messaging apps in the market, WhatsApp will end its support for older iPhones and Android devices starting January 1, 2021. According to recent reports, the messaging giant will stop supporting devices that are running on operating systems below iOS 9 or Android 4.0.3.
Amongst Apple’s devices, any iPhone that came before the iPhone 4S does not support iOS 9. So, to the users who are still using the iPhone 3GS or the original iPhone, it is high time you upgrade your smartphone. As for other iOS devices, every model above the iPhone 6 supports the latest iOS 14 software. Even models like the iPhone 5, 5S, and the first-gen SE support up to iOS 12. So, if you are an iPhone user still running iOS 8, then update your software by going to Settings > General > Software Update to continue using WhatsApp in 2021.
