Popular instant messaging application WhatsApp has announced that certain types of phones will not be compatible with their application as of 2017.

The announcement was made as they celebrated their 7th anniversary that will affect a number of people using these models.

As of the end of 2016, the following phone models will no longer be supported:

Blackberry 10

BlackBerry, including BlackBerry 10
Nokia S40
Nokia Symbian S60
Android 2.1 and Android 2.2
Windows Phone 7.1

That means that if you have the following types of phones you have 10 months to get rid of it so as to keep using WhatsApp:

All types of Blackberry’s, including the Bold, Curve, Pearl and Touch. Basically if it says “Blackberry” it won’t work. A whole lot of Nokia’s that run on old Nokia S40 software: Asha, X2, X3, C2.

Some more Nokia’s; those that run Symbian S60 software: C7, E5, Nokia 5530 Xpress Music, N97. It’s safe to say that if it is a Nokia then the chances are highly likely that it will no longer be supported.

WhatsApp Is Popular With Many People

To check what type of a Nokia you have, simply dial *#0000# and if it matches any of the above then know that WhatsApp may be a thing of the past for you.

A bunch of Android phones; mostly the old and slow ones. To check what version of Android you have, go to Settings, System, About Phone and check the Android Version. If it reads 2.1 or 2.2 then plan for an upgrade by December 2016.

It looks like this type of phone is so old that there is nothing on the internet that speaks about it. But if you have a ‘Lumia Mango’ or when dialing *#0000# on your Nokia phone and it has Windows 7.1 written there, be advised accordingly. - Online Sources
