Ok.. Even the world should just come to an end..The power is in the hands of the wicked ones tormenting their subjects..I saw it in the news where they burnt someone alive because of okada..i ain't justifying crime oo,,but here we big thieves stealing our collective wealth,, even make us to pay more tax so that they can be richer..By so doing,,they have accumulated so much to get security as their escort and also have enough to bribe the corrupt judges just in case agbada hook wire..They have weaponised poverty to the extent ordinary citizens don't have feeling for themselves again which makes it at slightest provocation,,the rest na history..We should all come together and fight these common thieves and real criminals in the name of politicians..

Noted. WhatsApp is trying to accommodate more newer phones by dislodging more older phones.
Did the older phones say they won't update?

Keep quiet if you don't have anything to say.

Those old phones are limited when it comes to the type of modern day tech whatsapp would like to add to its apps. So what they do is, they phase out older phones gradually while also upgrading their apps to fit what the current phones can handle.

They have the capability to accommodate as much phones
Did the older phones say they won't update? Shut up if you can't think properly before you comment.

It invariably means that no one would be able to use one phone for a very long time, as updates would no longer be available.

It would indicate that mobile phones and similar gadgets are no longer mere status symbols, but advances in communication that require routine software and hardware upgrades.
those phone are so old, that most of the present apps won't even work on them, lollipop os was like 2014, that is 11years ago

Thank you for the question. This is the question I later asked one mumu that I quoted above this comment. The older phones could still update but WhatsApp is probably trying to shed away excessive drags on their system and not ready to entertain complains and perhaps litigations from users operating those old model phones.

It also further means that if WhatsApp doesn’t take caution,by forcing people to periodically change phone in this great Tinubulation without the previous one being damaged,they will be dumped for other platforms such as telegram. I love telegram anyway and used it more than WhatsApp

The ordinary citizens are the problem, can't you see them here, hailing their slaver

Someone that tinubu doesn't know and can never meet tinubu in his entire life is saying " after God is tinubu"

Give them 5k they will forget their 5million problem and still vote for the person that impoverish them

Look at Ondo that fulani herdsmen massacred them in owo, and still killing them till today, they will still collect 5k to vote for apc

Ordinary nigerians are ridiculous
