WhatsApp will stop working on these phones starting in April 2025: check if yours is working

The app will stop working on phones that don’t meet these requirements. Affected users can back up their chats before the deadline.

WhatsApp constantly updates its operating system to ensure the security and performance of the app. As part of this process, the company periodically reviews the devices and operating systems it still supports.

Those that don’t receive security updates or can’t run new features are removed from the compatibility list. Therefore, starting in April 2025, several phones will no longer be compatible with WhatsApp due to their operating systems no longer supporting the app’s new updates.
