WhatsApp messenger from February 1, 2020 will cease to work on gadgets with old versions of operating systems.

This was reported on the support page of the program website.

For the application to work, you need a device with Android operating system version 4. 3 and above or with iOS 9, KaiOS 2. 1 and newer.

If older versions of the software are installed on the devices, then WhatsApp users will no longer be able to register in the application and use the current account.

The site notes that since the company does not conduct development for old operating systems, some functions of the application may stop working at any time.

The report also said that on December 31, Windows Phone users also lost the ability to use the messenger..
