The company added through its blog post that
despite it was a tough decision for them to make,
but still the right one in order to provide better
service and better ways to keep in touch with your
family, friends and loved ones using Whatsapp.

Therefore if your phone falls within the stated range,
you are advised to either upgrade to the newer
version of Andriod, iPhone, Window or get a newer
ones before the due date.

My advice to you, If you’re planning to buy a
second-hand phone for whatsapp reason, Please
kindly beware of the version to buy as to prevent
you from buying unsupported Whatsapp phone.
