WhatsApp will no longer work on these phones in 2025

December 29, 2024

Android devices that are running on the KitKat operating system (OS) or older versions, will not be able to support Meta’s platform WhatsApp on their devices from January 1, 2025, reported

This decision is aimed at improving security and app functionality, according to WhatsApp’s parent company Meta.

Older devices struggle to support new features and can’t protect user data effectively as technology advances.

These phones become more vulnerable to cyber threats without software and security updates as well as app functionality is reduced.
