Some people prefer to buy an old smartphone instead of a new one, but it is important to pay attention to many important things while buying an old handset; otherwise, you may regret it later. Today, we will tell you which Android and iOS phones WhatsApp does not work. The purpose of conveying this information to you is that you should not make a mistake while buying an old phone, and check beforehand whether the phone will support WhatsApp or not.
According to the information given on the official FAQ page of WhatsApp, the app works only on Android 5.0 and above versions, while on the other hand, iOS 15.1 and above versions. If you are also going to buy an old phone, then go to the phone settings and check whether the phone is working on a version below Android 5 or iOS 15.1 on iPhone. If you bought an old phone without checking this, then you may regret it later.
How to check the OS in Android and iPhone?
On which operating system is the phone working? It is very easy to find out; for this, you have to go to the About option in the phone settings. After going with this option, you will get this information. On the other hand, for information about the operating system in iPhone, you have to go to General and then About section, where you will know which OS the phone is running on.
Why does it not support old phones?
Many people have this question: Why does WhatsApp stop supporting the old OS? The company focuses on improving the features from time to time and strengthening the security of the app. WhatsApp does not work on those handsets that stop getting security updates from the company. By stopping support for the old OS, the company focuses on the safety of existing customers.
