It is not a hoax. Whatsapp may stop working on your smartphone soon!
Yes, you read that right. Your favorite app has recently updated its mobile devices support page which has a list of devices that would no longer support the application by the end of 2018.
“These platforms don’t offer the kind of capabilities we need to expand our app’s features in the future,” Financial Express quoted WhatsApp’s statement. “If you use one of these affected mobile devices, we recommend upgrading to a newer iOS version, or to a newer Android Running OS.”
