If you are using WhatsApp on your devices (which are listed below), it will no more be supported. It has already stopped working on Nokia Symbian S60, BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry 10, Windows Phone 8.0 and its older versions from 2017.
WhatsApp had earlier announced that it would end support for Nokia S40 in June this year, but changed its mind before extending the support till December 31.
“This was a tough decision for us to make, but the right one in order to give people better ways to keep in touch with friends, family, and loved ones using WhatsApp," the company said on its blog post. Those who own a phone powered on these very platforms have no choice but to upgrade their device if they wish to continue using WhatsApp.
