Android phones running on KitKat OS will not be able to access WhatsApp

Reason being older platforms lack capabilities to support new updates, posing security risks

Meta's WhatsApp has announced to do the same with older iOS versions

The decision impacts several devices, including some models from prominent brands like Samsung, LG, and Sony, that were released over a decade ago. Users are encouraged to upgrade to devices running newer Android versions to continue accessing WhatsApp services. Here is the full list of Android phones that will not be able to access WhatsApp in a few days.

Samsung:

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

Motorola:

Moto G (1st Gen), Razr HD, Moto E 2014

HTC:

One X, One X+, Desire 500, Desire 601

LG:

Optimus G, Nexus 4, G2 Mini, L90

Sony:

WhatsApp will end support for these iPhones

While WhatsApp currently supports iOS 12 and above, the upcoming changes will require iOS 15.1 as the minimum version for continued functionality

This update will mainly affect users of older iPhones, specifically the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus, which are limited to iOS 12.5.7.
