Popular social media application and Facebook-owned app, WhatsApp will stop working on millions of phones from January 1st 2021.

This is the latest report according to the Facebook platform.

The reports revealed that the category of WhatsApp users who use the app on an iPhone 4 or older and outdated Android handsets will be unable to use the app properly as from January 1, 2021.

This is because the Facebook-owned messaging platform will stop support for iOS 9, the OS released by Apple in 2015.

The report further revealed that people with iPhone 4 models won't be able to update to more recent software. Phone users with Android devices such as the Motorola Droid Razr and the Samsung Galaxy S2 will not be able to upgrade to the latest android version.

If you fall into this category or you are not sure, below is what you should do;

For Apple users, go to your Settings, then go to "General" and "About."

For Android phone users, go to Settings, and click on "About Phone," you will see the details about your phone on the page.

In case you are affected, the best thing to do is to backup your chats ahead of the deadline so as not lose your data altogether.

To backup your chat, go to 'Chat backup' option under Chats section in Settings.

We also advise that affected users get new phones that are compatible with WhatsApp if they want to keep enjoying the messaging app in the future.
