WhatsApp will not work on these phone models after 8 days.

Meta will withdraw support for certain Motorola, Samsung, HTC, LG, and Sony phone models starting January 1, 2025.

WHATSAPP SUPPORT COMING TO AN END

The company announced that it is coming to an end for WhatsApp support for phones with outdated hardware that struggle to run new versions.

LIST PUBLISHED

Samsung: Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Ace 3, Galaxy S4 Mini

Motorola: Moto G (1st generation), Razr HD, Moto E 2014

HTC: One X, One X+, Desire 500, Desire 601

LG: Optimus G, Nexus 4, G2 Mini, L90

Sony: Xperia Z, Xperia SP, Xperia T, Xperia V

The evolving features of WhatsApp and the innovations added to the platform are causing these devices' outdated hardware to become incompatible. For the current features to work smoothly, understandably, and orderly, stronger and newer devices are required. Therefore, WhatsApp finds the solution to directly cut support for devices with outdated hardware that struggle to operate.

FINAL DEADLINE FOR IPHONES IS MAY 2025
