WhatsApp has revealed that the messaging app will stop working on some smartphones in 2020.
WhatsApp said: “You’ll no longer be able to use all Windows Phone operating systems after December 31, 2019, and WhatsApp might not be available in the Microsoft Store after July 1, 2019.”
It’s not just Windows phone owners that are going to be disappointed though as WhatsApp will also stop working on several Android smartphones and iPhones next year.
As of February 1, 2020, people using Android versions 2.3.7 or older will not be able to create new accounts or reverify existing accounts.
The same fate will apply to users of iPhones running on iOS 8 or older.
If you have a Windows phone and want to save your chat history before it’s gone forever then there is luckily a fairly simple way to do this.
You just need to open the chat you wish to export.
Then click on ‘Group Info’.
Next you’ll need to scroll down and click ‘Export Chat’.
This will give you the option to download the chat with or without media.
