More than 50 phones will not be able to use or download WhatsApp, a major social media platform owned by Facebook, starting from November 2021.
According to a report by The Sun, the site is claiming that phasing out support for older models of phones - iPhone and Android, can help keep the app secure.
However, the publication disclosed that phone users can update their Android and iOS versions to at least 4.1 to be able to enjoy the service, Daily Advent added.

The three social media companies have avoided giving reasons for users inability to connect to their platforms, offering the usual claim of system encountering "issue". This is not the first time the three Mark Zuckerberg-owned apps would experience an outage, as they had suffered the same fate on March 19, 2021. The reason? - 'technical issue'.
