Whatsapp will no longer support some Android phones from November 1st. Because of this, these users will lose all chats and contacts if they don’t save their chat history before the update.

Whatsapp has suggested its users use older versions of Android to switch to compatible versions as soon as possible. The company; however, is compatible with all other devices running Android 4.1 and later, as well as iOS and KaiOS.

Versions 4.0.4 and earlier will no longer be compatible with the messaging app as of Monday, WhatsApp announced.
