The most downloaded messaging software in the world, WhatsApp, has said that it would stop supporting 35 mobile devices that are running outdated Apple and Google operating systems.

The move was made as the business works to keep its smartphones compatible with a variety of operating systems, including iOS, Android, and feature phones.

Models from well-known manufacturers including Samsung, Motorola, Huawei, Sony, LG, and Apple are among the gadgets on the list that are impacted.

While some of these devices may be old, others still have decent hardware or are unable to upgrade, making it surprising that users are still relying on them to access WhatsApp.
