WhatsApp Will Stop Working For Millions Of People From January 1st

According to the Lebanese Ministry of Information, the new WhatsApp update will prevent the popular messaging application from functioning on millions of phones starting January 1st of 2021. “Older Android and iPhone devices will no longer support the latest version of the app, forcing owners to either update their mobile operating system or buy a new smartphone,” the Ministry of Information announced. However, Lebanese residents, who can’t afford to buy a new phone due to the devaluating local currency against the dollar, are pretty much left without a solution. The Information Ministry specifically stated that any iPhone not running on the Apple update (iOS 9) or newer, as well as any phone not running on at least the new Android system (4.0.3), will no longer be able to open or operate the Facebook-owned application. Hence, all iPhone models up to the iPhone 4 will be unable to support WhatsApp, as these phones are not capable of updating to iOS 9.
