Will this WhatsApp shutdown affect Indian phones?
By the way, WhatsApp has announced that it will stop supporting many phones in Brazil in the coming days. Nothing has been heard about whether the issue will be effective in India. However, if your Android phone has a 4.1 operating system or lower-level software, then it will not support WhatsApp. Similarly, this application will not run on iPhones with iOS 9 or lower. In that case, you either need to update the phone or buy a new phone. Note that last November, WhatsApp was blocked for a select few phones.
