WhatsApp has announced that it will stop working oncertain handsets by the end ofthe year as it plans tohalt the active development of software for certain cell phone models.

The phones list includes all Windows phones, Android versions 2.3.7 and older software. The most shocking on that list is the iPhone iOS 7 on which WhatsApp will stop functioning starting February 1, 2020.

I’ve talked about WhatsApp Business for iOS, WhatsApp Business for Android, WhatsApp for KaiOS and recently about WhatsApp Messenger and Business for iPad, before any public announcement from WhatsApp.

Today I can OFFICIALLY confirm that WhatsApp is working on UWP! It’s real😍👍🏼 https://t.co/D5xMTNUvjs
