But why will these cell phones run out of WhatsApp starting tomorrow? Well, there is an explanation and it has to do with the year your smartphone came out. Here we will explain it to you so that you always keep it in mind:

• One of the reasons why these smartphones will run out of WhatsApp is because their operating system will no longer be updated.
• Only cell phones that have Android 4.1 or lower will no longer have WhatsApp. In this regard, all those who have Android 5 will be able to continue using the app normally.
• You may be able to see notifications for messages, but replying to them will be impossible. You will also not be able to receive calls or video calls, or chat or recover your stickers.
• It is best to update your smartphone to the latest version of Android.
• Or in any case, acquire one with the current software to avoid setbacks in the future.
• Of course, it is not necessary to have Android 13. So it is worth the same if you have Android 8, Android 9, Android 10, Android 11, Android 12, etc.
• If you can’t update your smartphone, it’s best to have to buy one with a newer operating system so you can keep chatting.
• In the case of iPhones you must go to the Settings of the same cell phone and go to General. Since those devices that have iOS 12, iOS 11 or iOS 10 will not be able to update the app.
• There, check the status of your Apple cell phone. If there is an update pending, click on “Software update”.
• You may be able to update to iOS 16.4.1, the latest that has reached iPhone cell phones, or one like iOS 15, iOS 14 and even iOS 13.
• This comes with improvements such as new emojis, improved cameras, having the best widgets, as well as adding stabilization on the cameras, better cinematic effects.
• Remember that this is full of new features, such as the possibility of creating WhatsApp stickers without programs, as well as having better functionality in the videos and recordings of them.
• In the same way, if you see that your device does not update, you will not be able to do much and the best thing will be to change it.
• It should be noted that when WhatsApp is updated, your old terminal will no longer be able to receive messages, nor will you be able to send them. You will also not be able to make calls or video calls.
• In the same way, your audio messages will not be able to be reproduced, while your stickers will not be rescued either, although there is a method to do it quickly. For the latter case you can follow this link.

As you can see, the devices that will be left without the popular WhatsApp application are those with an operating system that almost no one has anymore or are obsolete due to the passage of time.

How many have Android 13 today? It is true, six months have passed since Android 13 was launched and it is only present in 5% of users, a figure that is too low, however, the good news is that by January 2023 Jelly Bean has already disappeared, it is likely that in the the next few months the same will happen with KitKat. Another positive part is that 67.8% of all Android phones have Android 10 or higher (an improvement of 5% compared to the latest data).

It is estimated that there are still many users who use very old mobile devices, such as: the Samsung Galaxy S8, Motorola Moto Z2 Force, Huawei Mate 10, etc., equipment that came out in 2016 or 2017 and is only up to four years old. update, it means that they are only compatible up to the version of Android Pie and Android 10, for this reason is that Android 13 has not taken off as Google wanted.

Even according to the same report, currently only a few devices have Android 4.1, which means that almost no one in the world has it; however, in the case of Android 4.4, there are still a few devices left, accounting for 0.70%.

In addition, there is also a small group of people who even use older cell phones, those that are only compatible up to Android Oreo 8.0, the 2016 operating system, the latter is present in 9.5% of cell phones worldwide. Here we will leave you the percentage table prepared by Google.

WhatsApp is currently implementing voice notes that will only be heard once, very similar to photos or videos. In addition, it is expected that it will also add that tool that many requested: the editing of messages. Some even claim that the “third blue check” will also arrive soon, although this has been ruled out by the app itself.

The app, with new updates, always tends to place new components that allow them to run in the next software, it is for this reason that it decides to abandon updates to old versions of smartphones. Remember not to use WhatsApp Plus instead as you can get completely banned and you may lose everything.
