Whatsapp update: Will chat stop working on your smartphone? Check if your handset is on list

WhatsApp update: WhatsApp is everywhere and everyone seems to be using it. For business or pleasure, when it comes to communicating, WhatsApp is the most direct and quick way to express what you want to say. Over time it has acquired various bells and whistles that makes customisation possible and you can even attempt to make your chats look good. Now that you are hooked to your WhatsApp, what will you do if we said that you may no longer get access to it? That Whatsapp will stop working for you?

Ranting and raving won't help. It would be better if you checked the device you are packing and also see its operating system. It does not matter whether it is Android or iPhone, WhatsApp does not discriminate and pushes everyone who does not meet its stringent policy out of the door. Sad, but true. Quite Darwinian, actually.

Yes, WhatsApp has threatened to withdraw all support to these devices.

So, how would you know whether you are on WhatsApp list of those who have failed the Darwinian test of survival of the fittest? As we said, you need to check if your smartphone is too old to run WhatsApp or it has a dated operating system. Know here that WhatsApp will not run on smartphones that have old operating systems. To get around this problem, you could try updating your OS. However, that is unlikely to work for most people. And yes, you need to hurry to find a solution as there is always a deadline involved before WhatsApp pulls the plug on you.
