WhatsApp is one of the most popular instant messaging platforms people use worldwide. But it is going to stop working on at least 49 smartphones by 31 December 2022. The brand models which will be affected are Samsung, Apple, and others. Thus, iPhone and Android mobile phone fans need to know the entire list of inclusions here.

It is not new for such an occurrence, because this IM service ends its support every year for several phones. But all is not worrisome, because WhatsApp is only ending its support for certain smartphones that run on outdated and old operating systems. Thus, after 31 December, users of the listed phones will not be able to access new features and updates important for the secure operation of the app.

And gradually, WhatsApp will fail to work for them. The chances of the phones being used by anyone are also minuscule because the models in question are years old, and probably only a few select people still use those. Also, some of these phone models are so old that they are not even available for purchase in the market.

This indicates that WhatsApp will not disappoint many people, and you may ease up a little on the news. Here is a complete checklist of the 49 smartphones that will not have WhatsApp running on them after 31 December 2022. Now, you can check out the list of 49 smartphones (some of them from Apple) that will no longer be able to run WhatsApp after December 31:
