How does WA decide which operating systems are supported?
Devices and software change frequently, so the social network regularly reviews the operating systems it supports and makes updates accordingly.
Like other tech companies, each year it identifies the most outdated devices and software and those with the fewest users to decide what to stop supporting. Those devices may also not have the latest security updates or functionality required to run WhatsApp.
