Why are they running out of WhatsApp?
Basically, this is due to the compatibility of WhatsApp with the operating system of these terminals. We are dealing with smartphones that are many years old, so they no longer have the latest versions of Android or iOS software.
For example, in the iPhones that appear on this list, since they do not have one of the latest versions of iOS, Apple’s software will no longer support WhatsApp. The same is true for Android as well. And it is that, those mobiles with Android 4.0.1 or lower, will be forever without the possibility of using the messaging app. Although, it has not been something that has happened from one day to the next, since they have been warning from the application itself for several months so that those affected users are not caught by surprise.
This is largely due to the fact that, over time, different features have been added to the application that, in different older versions of these operating systems, no longer support it. So they will have to say goodbye to WhatsApp.
