WhatsApp has outlined the Android phones that can continue using its messaging platform, noting that devices which do not meet the requirements may eventually lose access to the app. According to the company, the platform currently supports Android phones running Android 6.0 and newer, and the device must also be capable of receiving SMS messages or phone calls for account verification. Android devices running operating systems older than Android 6.0 are not supported. WhatsApp said retiring support for older operating systems allows it to focus on newer systems and maintain the security and functionality of the app.
