Users of these phones must say goodbye to WhatsApp as the App will stop working to several Nokia series that use Series 40 (S40) as their operating system.
WhatsApp announced it would end support for the phones in 2019, leaving many users unable to use its services.
Here's the list of devices for which WhatsApp will not work.
Along with Nokia S40 software, starting today, older phones like Nokia 206, Nokia Asha 210, Nokia Asha501, Nokia Asha210, Nokia Asha 301 and some other will not be able to run WhatsApp as the Facebook-owned company.
It would only provide technical support for smartphones that use at least Android 4.0, Windows Phone 8.1, iOS8, JioPhone or JioPhone 2, reported in kompas.com.
"Once you have one of these devices, simply install WhatsApp and verify your phone number on the new device. Keep in mind that WhatsApp can only be activated with one phone number on one device at a time," stated the company.
"Furthermore, there's currently no option to transfer your chat history between platforms. However, we provide the option to export your chat history as an email attachment."
WhatsApp also announced that it would end support for Android 2.3.7 and iOS 7 in 2020. Users of these devices will be able to continue using the app but can no longer create new accounts.
"Because we'll no longer actively develop for these operating systems, some features might stop functioning at any time," the company warned.
