WhatsApp Stops Functioning On These Android Phones. Check If Your Phone Is On The List

According to WhatsApp update tracking site Wabetainfo, WhatsApp now only supports Android OS 5.0 and newer versions.

Meta-owned WhatsApp, the world's most-popular messaging platform, has discontinued support for Android smartphones with 4.4 KitKat. This means that WhatsApp is now incompatible with phones running Android 4.4 or older versions. This comes as WhatsApp is apparently trying to shift focus on newer operating systems (OS).

According to WhatsApp update tracking site Wabetainfo, WhatsApp now only supports Android OS 5.0 and newer versions. However, there are no changes regarding supported iOS devices.

With WhatsApp discontinuing support for Android 4.4 and older versions, users having devices with the older version will need to consider upgrading to Android 5.0, provided a manufacturer-issued software update is available. In case an update to a later Android version is not available, users will be required to transition to a newer Android smartphone.

It should be noted that WhatsApp parent Meta enhances WhatsApp for newer operating systems, introduces features such as multi-account switching and additional security enhancements. Meta also strongly advises users to regularly update WhatsApp to access these new features and key security patches. 

WhatsApp has recently announced rolling out passkey support for the app globally. WhatsApp tested passkey support in beta for a couple of months before introducing it for users worldwide. Official passkey support for WhatsApp is available for Android users now, which means Android device users will be able to log into WhatsApp without passwords. There is no word on when the feature would be available for iOS users.
