WhatsApp is ending support for outdated smartphone models from December 31, 2022. According to a report by Gizchina, the list includes 49 smartphones ranging across multiple brands like Apple, Samusung, Huawei and others. The list includes mobile phones from a few years back. It is highly possible that many have already updated to newer models and will not be impacted by it. Also, most of these smartphones never made it to India, so lesser the worry for Indian smartphone users.

The feature is currently under development and could soon be rolled out on WhatsApp Desktop beta.
