- SignHouse
Jakarta, VIVA – As of January 1, 2025, WhatsApp will no longer be supported on four Samsung smartphone models: the Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Ace 3, and Galaxy S4 Mini.
These devices, running on the outdated Android KitKat operating system, cannot meet the evolving requirements of the messaging app, as quoted from GSM Arena site.
WhatsApp's decision to discontinue support for these older devices is driven by the need to accommodate new features and functionalities, such as AI integration, which demand more advanced hardware.
