Note: WhatsApp will not work from 2023 on these cell phones

Meta’s instant messaging app, WhatsApp, closes 2022 and begins 2023 without working on about 20 devices, because the requirements of the new updates and functions of the platform do not apply in these mobile devices.

The application can only be used on operating systems higher than those that will be affected. In the case of Android, from version 4.0.3 onwards; and in the case of Apple, superior to iOS 12.
