From January 1, 2025, the popular WhatsApp messenger will become unavailable to users of older versions of Android. The changes will affect owners of many common smartphone models from leading manufacturers.
The list of devices that will lose access to the messenger includes: Motorola Razr HD, first-generation Moto G and Moto E 2014; Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4 Mini and Galaxy Ace 3; LG Optimus G, G2 Mini, Nexus 4 and L90; HTC Desire 500, Desire 601, One X and One X+; Sony Xperia Z, Xperia T, Xperia SP and Xperia V.
Users of these devices need to take care of saving important data until the end of 2024. After the end of support, access will be lost not only to the application itself, but also to all correspondence, photos and media files. Experts advise to create backup copies of data on new devices in advance.
The changes will also affect users of Apple equipment. Owners of iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be able to use the messenger only until May 2025. After that, WhatsApp will stop working on these devices as well.
To maintain access to the messenger, users will either have to purchase a newer smartphone or switch to alternative means of communication that support older versions of operating systems.
