WhatsApp may not work on your Phone in 2020 check the list. by Woshtv: 3:51pm On Dec 10, 2019

It's currently available on select versions of the devices but will cease to be from December 31.
WhatsApp said: "You'll no longer be able to use all Windows Phone operating systems after December 31, 2019, and WhatsApp might not be available in the Microsoft Store after July 1, 2019."
It's not just Windows phone owners that are going to be disappointed though as WhatsApp will also stop working on several Android smartphones and iPhones next year.
As of February 1, 2020, people using Android versions 2.3.7 or older will not be able to create new accounts or re-verify existing accounts.
The same fate will apply to users of iPhones running on iOS 8 or older.
The latest upgrades will affect;
• All Windows Phone operating systems after December 31, 2019
• Android versions 2.3.7 and older after February 1, 2020
• iPhone iOS 7 and older after February 1, 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.

“If you use one of these affected mobile devices, we recommend upgrading to a newer Android, iPhone, or Windows Phone to continue using WhatsApp.”
If you have a Windows phone and want to save your chat history before it's gone forever then there is luckily a fairly simple way to do this.
You just need to open the chat you wish to export.
Then click on 'Group Info'.
Next you'll need to scroll down and click 'Export Chat'.
This will give you the option to download the chat with or without media.

And, make sure you don't click this text WhatsApp offering you 1,000GB of free Data.
