WhatsApp is a great way to stay in touch. That's why it's used by a large number of people. Now, big news has come regarding WhatsApp. The news is that starting September 8, 2026, WhatsApp will stop working on smartphones running versions older than Android 6.0 (Marshmallow).

This information has been obtained from a report. According to this report, Meta (the parent company of WhatsApp) is gradually ending support for older devices to keep its app secure and fast.

The company is taking this step because older phones may struggle to properly run new updates. This could impact both app performance and security. WhatsApp has begun showing notifications to prepare users for this change and is providing necessary advice to users in this regard.
