If you use WhatsApp, then this news is especially useful for you. This app will be closed for millions of users from the new year. In such a situation, it is important to know whether you are also included among those users. Actually, from January 1, WhatsApp is stopping its support for smartphones with old operating systems. Meta-owned WhatsApp stops its support for old mobiles almost every year. The reason for this is that old operating systems are not compatible with new features and security updates.

WhatsApp will stop support on these operating systems.

The users using old versions of Android will be the most affected by this decision of the company. If someone still uses the KitKat version of Android, then he will not be able to run WhatsApp from the new year. This version was released 10 years ago and does not support features like Meta AI. This means that if you want to use WhatsApp service on a KitKat version phone after January 1, 2025, then you will have to update this operating system or buy a new phone.

WhatsApp will stop working on these phones.

WhatsApp is going to stop supporting these phones from January 1, 2025-

LG- Optimus G, Nexus 4, G2 Mini, L90
HTC- One X, One X+, Desire 500, Desire 601
Motorola- Moto G, Razr HD, Moto E 2014
Samsung- Galaxy S3. Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Ace 3, Galaxy S4 Mini
Sony- Xperia Z, Xperia SP, Xperia T, Xperia V

These are the benefits of updating the app.

Updating WhatsApp and any other app is important because it keeps providing new features. These features make the experience of using the app easy and fun. Apart from this, updating is also necessary for data security. Many times there is a fear of data leak due to bugs or other problems. Therefore, the company releases security updates to remove bugs. If the app is not updated, then the benefits of these updates cannot be availed.
