How to know if my cell phone will stop working WhatsApp in September 2023
The first thing you should do, if you have an Android device, is to check that it is not a version 4.4 or lower.
In the case of iPhones, they must have an iOS 16.5 operating system, otherwise WhatsApp will no longer be compatible.
To check these details, go to “Settings”; then to “System” and finally to “Software Update”.
