Back in 2016 Whatsapp discontinued support for older phones running Android Éclair (2.0-2.1) and Froyo(2.2). Most of the people affected at the time probably had no idea that the reason they could no longer use their handy messaging app was because the hardware was too old.
Next on Whatsapp’s hit list is Android Gingerbread (2.3). Support for Gingerbread will be discontinued in 2020 and this will affect a number of people in the world. Though the Gingerbread version of Android is now years 8 years old and it will be 10 years old by the time support is cut this will probably affect quite a number of users.
The cut will not only affect Android users but Apple phones running iOS7 will also be getting the cut. So depending on which version of Android or Apple you’re using you might want to upgrade your device.
