The Facebook-owned messaging service currently boasts 2Billion users worldwide, but it will cut off millions from it's platform in the next two years.

WhatsApp sneakily revealed the purge in an update to an old blog post titled "support for older operating systems".

In it, the company says it will refusal support for the following systems on February 1, 2020:

Android Gingerbread versions 2.3.7 and older.
Users of those operating systems can no longer create new WhastApp accounts, but will be able to use the app until the deadline.
