Like every year, WhatsApp is preparing to release from the older versions of the operating systems Android and iOS.And therefore, consequently, some devices risk not being able to support the most loved messaging application on the planet, stopping to make it work or continuing but with bugs, slowdowns and disservices that make it substantially unusable.
This year the generational transition for the most used chat in the world concerns in particular the versions previous to Android 4.0.3 (the Ice Cream Sandwich distributed in 2011) and at 9 of iOS.Anyone who mounts on their phone a release prior to Apple's ninth or just 4.0.2 of the green robot, in short, risks no longer being able to chat.On the other hand, the many news coming soon, from the use of the same account on several phones to the increasingly deep integration with Instagram and Messenger, will make the app even more sophisticated and refined.
Specifically, and by way of example, given that the models put in circulation over the years are thousands and therefore much also depends on how much and how the respective producers have distributed updating patches over the years, the devices that will no longer be able to support WhatsApp are: SamsungGalaxy S2;Motorola Droid Razr;LG Optimus Black;HTC Desire;Huawei Ascend d Quadl XL;Huawei Ascend D1 Quadl XL;Huawei Ascend P1;Huawei Ascend P1 S;Huawei MediaPad 7 Lite and iPhone 4 or older (4S models are saved instead).To be sure, in any case, you need to know the latest update made available by Android or Apple for your device.
On the other hand, every year the creature controlled by Facebook improves its platform, it introduces as its said substantial news - the last of this year is that of the retractable messages after a week - asks for the phone better and integrates with the different versionsoperating systems to offer more fluid experiences.That often, especially on the oldest models, do not keep the update step.However, it should not worry too many users, given that Ice Cream Sandwich is installed at the moment on 0.2% of the base of Android phones and only 1% of the iPhones sports previous versions of 12.However a conspicuous number of users, who perhaps use old smartphones such as alternative or reserve phones.
