Incidentally, WhatsApp support is often disabled for some older smartphone models. A month ago, the company announced that from October 24, WhatsApp will no longer support devices running iOS 10 and iOS 11. As a result, currently iPhone owners need to be on iOS 12 or later to use this app. This time, the company owned by Meta has stopped WhatsApp support for more than 40 smartphones. It goes without saying that the company’s latest announcement will make many users uncomfortable.
