WhatsApp to drop support for older Android devices on January 1, 2025
Briefly

Meta will end support for WhatsApp on devices older than 10 years, specifically those running on Android KitKat or earlier, effective January 1, 2025.
The decision to discontinue support stems from WhatsApp's need to evolve with more demanding features and AI functionalities that require modern hardware.
Meta has previously announced that support for iPhones running iOS older than 15.1 will be retained until May 2025, highlighting a similar trend in device support policy.
Users of older Android devices should backup their WhatsApp data to ensure they do not lose media and chat history when the support ends in 2025.
