WhatsApp keeps moving forward, and it has been incorporating new tools and functionalities in the mobile version of their instant messaging service. However, as of today (June 1), a number of cellphone devices will no longer be compatible with the chat application. As a result, millions of users will now have to revise their options to keep making use of this service.

In total, 36 types of cellphones are not going to be able to run the Meta application anymore. In this sense, the fastest and easiest solution is to acquire a more modern cellphone to keep utilizing WhatsApp. The following are the affected devices in the list:

  • Samsung Galaxy Core
  • Samsung Galaxy Trend Lite
  • Samsung Galaxy Ace 2
  • Samsung Galaxy S3 mini
  • Samsung Galaxy Trend II
  • Samsung Galaxy X cover 2.
  • LG Optimus L3 II Dual
  • LG Optimus L5 II
  • LG Optimus F5
  • LG Optimus L3 II

  • Faea F1THL W8
