WhatsApp’s Supported Operating Systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whatsapp<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Currently, WhatsApp extends its support to and recommends the use of the following devices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Android devices running OS 4.1 and newer versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPhones running iOS 12 and more recent versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KaiOS 2.5.0 and newer versions, including JioPhone and JioPhone 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon acquiring one of these devices, users can easily install WhatsApp and complete the registration process using their phone numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Points to Consider:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from October 24, 2023, WhatsApp will exclusively provide support for Android OS versions 5.0 and later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the verification process, it’s crucial that your phone is capable of receiving SMS or calls. WhatsApp does not support the setup of new accounts on devices that rely solely on WiFi connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Determining Support and Handling Unsupported Operating Systems:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WhatsApp’s Approach to Establishing Support:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the ever-evolving landscape of devices and software, WhatsApp conducts periodic evaluations<\/a> of the endorsed operating systems and implements necessary adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To identify which systems will lose support, WhatsApp employs a process similar to that of fellow tech companies. Annually, WhatsApp assesses the oldest devices and software with the least number of users. These devices might miss out on the latest security updates or lack the necessary features essential for WhatsApp operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequences of Unsupported Operating Systems<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your operating system is no longer supported, WhatsApp will notify you in advance through messages within the app and provide reminders encouraging you to update your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WhatsApp will ensure that this page remains current to provide users with the most up-to-date list of supported operating systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
