WhatsApp is without any doubt one of the most popular messaging applications in the world. In Pakistan, it is equally popular where people use it to communicate with their loved ones using messages, voice, and video.

The app is known to provide timely updates to keep the application running smoothly for all those who use it. However, with updates, sometimes it is not possible for the developers to make the application work on older phones.

WhatsApp announced today that it will stop working on older phones that run on outdated software including iPhones running on iOS version 7. For the complete list of phones that are losing support from WhatsApp, check the list below.
