"We will periodically review which operating systems are supported and which are not. So, please update your device promptly," WhatsApp said in an official statement on Wednesday.

However, it's not just iPhones, Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi, but several other phones will also no longer be supported by WhatsApp.
