WhatsApp has announced that it will end support for devices with older operating systems especially the likes of iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, Huawei Ascend D, etc., from December 31, 2022.

According to the messaging App, users of iPhone 5, iPhone 5, and iPhone 5c, and other 45 Android phones of old smartphone models, will be sent an alert before it stops working.

WhatsApp said: “Devices and software change often, so we regularly review what operating systems we support and make updates.

“To choose what to stop supporting, every year we, like other technology companies, look at which devices and software are the oldest and have the fewest number of people still using them.

These devices also might not have the latest security updates, or might lack the functionality required to run WhatsApp.”
