WhatsApp is all set to stop working on various iPhones and Androids in the year 2022. It was recently reported that the Facebook-owned messaging app would not work on the older versions of Android and iOS.
If these reports are true then you will be blocked out of WhatsApp and will not be able to send or receive messages, photos, or videos on your old phones.
Notably, the ones who will be able to use messaging app WhatsApp are those with a smartphone that support Android OS 4.1 and above and iOS 10 and above.
