Meta, parent company of the WhatsApp messaging application, recently shared a statement in which they revealed that 36 mobile phone models will no longer be able to continue using the application because upcoming updates may affect its operation.
The instant messaging application has had various updates, which it will continue to do to innovate or strengthen security so that its users can keep in touch with their friends or family calmly.
These new functions also change some of its minimum requirements so that it runs correctly on different mobile devices, which means that in some cases certain users have to change cell phones to continue using them.
