With the start of a new month, WhatsApp users are aware of which devices lose access to the application due to its updates and improvements. By July the list was already known.
The phones that will be left out of the support of the Mesta platform will not be able to access it or will not have access to its future updates, the latter represents a security and privacy risk, since many people use chats to save or share personal data .
In addition, since it is not possible to have the latest version of the app, it will not be possible to enjoy the new functions that are added in the future, such as sending 60-second videos, reorganizing the keyboard or sharing the screen during a video call.
In case you have a mobile that is part of the list, the recommendation to avoid losing the information in WhatsApp is to make a backup copy of the conversations, so that when you have a compatible device, individual chats and groups resume , just as they were before access was closed.

It may interest you: Why it appears on WhatsApp: “Waiting for this message. This may take a while.”
Now, the data will be saved in the cloud and when you log in on the new mobile phone, all the information and contacts will be recovered, a process that is done automatically when you log in with the same account.
It is important to have enough storage space in the Drive profile, since this platform has a limit of 15 GB, which is shared with the Photos application and Gmail emails. with Infobae
