Whatsapp Will Soon Ban These by IKON360(m): 1:42pm On Dec 10, 2019
It's common knowledge that WhatsApp, the most popular chat app in the world does terminate access to its servers for certain phones.
A lot of phones have lost access to WhatsApp over the years ranging from older Symbian phones, Java phones, older IOS versions and Android versions.
And WhatsApp's developers are at it again, by February 1st 2020 another group of mobile devices will lose access to the chat platform and if your phone falls within the these it's time for an upgrade.
All Windows phones will lose access by December 31st, 2019.(who still uses Windows phones??)
Not only those, Iphones on any IOS version older than IOS 7 and android users on version 2.3.7 will lose access next.
The ban for Iphones and Android phones will be effected from February 1st, 2020
Justifying the decision to stop supporting older hardware, WhatsApp said in a blog post: “As we look ahead to our next seven years, we want to focus our efforts on the mobile platforms the vast majority of people use.

“While these mobile devices have been an important part of our story, they don't offer the kind of capabilities we need to expand our app's features in the future. This was a tough decision for us to make, but the right one in order to give people better ways to keep in touch with friends, family, and loved ones using WhatsApp.

“If you use one of these affected mobile devices, we recommend upgrading to a newer Android, iPhone, or Windows Phone to continue using WhatsApp.”

So guys, if you are using any of those and WhatsApp is important to you, it's Upgrade time.

I noticed I was getting addicted to wassap so I banned myself by uninstalling it from my phone for 6 months now.

As for Facebook, o uninstalled the application too. I use normal browsing . all these application guru think they can wake up one morning, upgrade over note and force us to upgrade with them. Noo, I am a mumu. I upgrade slowly at my own pace.
