On February 1, 2020, WhatsApp ended support for some of the oldest devices still in use. This includes iPhones running iOS 8 and below and Android devices on Android Gingerbread 2.3.7 or older. In other words, it’s time to either update your OS or upgrade your phone.
For some users, that might be as simple as an OS update; upgrading from iOS 8 to 9 should be enough to keep your favorite chat app working. However, not all devices can be upgraded. If you’re still holding onto that iPhone 4 you loved, you’re stuck on iOS 7; the most recent device compatible with iOS 9 is the 4s.
