With each monthly update of the Android and iOS operating systems on cell phones, Some available apps have to adapt their services to be compatible with software changes.
For users of the Android system, Google Play Store reported within WhatsApp specifications that the device needs to have Android version 4.1 onwards installed for the application to work efficiently.
While for people who have an iPhone, the App Store indicates that the minimum requirement they must meet is that they use the iOS 12.0 version. That is, it would not work on all those that were launched before 2016 and are more than seven years old.
