Meta has decided to end support for these older devices as they lack the necessary hardware to keep up with WhatsApp ’s evolving features and functionalities. As new features like AI-powered tools are introduced, the list of supported devices will be updated to ensure a seamless user experience.

If you are using one of these older devices, it is recommended that you back up your WhatsApp data to a newer device before the deadline. Otherwise, you risk losing all your media and chat history.

Additionally, starting in 2025, Meta will also end WhatsApp support for iPhone models running iOS 15.1 or earlier versions.
