Some phones across the world starting from November 1, (tomorrow) will not have access to WhatsApp, as the app will be blocked on their device.
Naija News had earlier reported that the social media messaging app will stop working on some devices because owners of the platform will cease to provide support for the operating system running on such old model devices.
Phones with very old versions of iOS or Android will not be compatible with the app, hence it will be blocked.
The only means that would make the affected phones continue enjoying the social media messaging app is if the, owners of phones upgrade their device software (if possible).
