WhatsApp is updating itself on an everyday basis which makes it difficult for outdated mobile phone sets to keep up with it. It is the reason that WhatsApp ends its support for a specific set of mobile phones every year and it will do the same this year. The list includes mobile phone sets using operating systems including iPhone and Android.

WhatsApp Ends for 49 Phones on December 31, 2022

Although you may be worried about the news, I must confirm that this list only includes the mobile sets which are outdated and are used by a limited number of people. So, it is hardly going to affect you that the application is ending its services for outdated operating systems.

For the New Year 2023, WhatsApp is ending its support for nearly 49 smartphones across all kinds of brands which includes huge names like Apple, Samsung and other high-end popularly used brands. This change will come into effect on 31 December 2022 and after that, no one will be able to get WhatsApp updates on the smartphones mentioned below. Eventually, the application will stop working on these smartphones leaving the users with no option but to switch to the latest operating system.
