Security How WhatsApp bypasses its own security measures to read messages between users
WhatsApp app will allow you to hide the time of the last connection to specific contacts
Every year,
makes updates to its service that improve the user experience: messages and images that erase themselves, hide the time of connection, use several devices at the same time ... But every year, it also has bad news.
As technology advances and mobiles become more powerful, even apps as simple in appearance as
are demanding more power and more resources from phones.
For this reason, every year it also gives the notice that certain telephones will not be able to be used on a certain day.
That moment has come.
As advised on the user support page, as of November 1, WhatsApp will stop working on these phones:
Phones with
Android OS 4.1
and later versions
Phones with
iOS 10
and later versions
Some phone models with KaiOS 2.5.1 and later operating system, including JioPhone and JioPhone 2 devices
In this way, the
iPhone 4S will
not be able to continue using WhatsApp normally from that date, as well as older Android mobiles.
They are phones that are almost 5 years old, at least, so it is difficult for them to affect a large number of users.
In order to continue using
on these mobiles, it will be necessary either not to update the phone when a new version of WhatsApp arrives or delete
and download an APK with the old version of the app.
This opens the door to numerous problems, since an app without updating or an old phone has security flaws that
neither Apple nor Google fix,
since, at most, they support up to five years.
The only solution for those who have
a phone that is no longer compatible with WhatsApp
, but want the news that is about to come to the application, would be to buy a new phone.
