WhatsApp is set to end its messaging services on around 49 smartphones, leaving millions without the popular app within days. The Meta-owned company will put an end to update launches from Saturday (December 31) which will halt WhatsApp services on dozens of smartphones that belong to market-leading brands such as Apple, Samsung, Sony and LG.

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging platforms in the world. Billions of customers use its free messaging service.

It is understood the company is pulling its support for 49 smartphones listed below as they have outdated operating systems that won’t be able to support the new upgraded version of WhatsApp along with future updates. The service stoppage will ensure all WhatsApp users are using the latest version of the app with enhanced safety and privacy options.
