          LEEDAQ, 03 Jan 2019FUNNY. WhatsApp doesn't support to move your chats from iOS... moreThat is such an annoying thing with whatsapp, i wasn't able to transfer any of the 4 years of chats from my iphone to the android phone but i was able to transfer everything else except imessages which i didn't expect anyway. I don't understand whatsapp's business model, they are always cutting off access to users, BlackBerry had a lot of users in whatsapp and it was one of the few apps that worked without any issues, i think the reason whatsapp is ending support for these phones is because they are old is it harder for them to manipulate the security features and use your information more.

                  AnonD-819322, 02 Jan 2019I knew this would happen about a week ago. It's sad, why do... moreThey do lose money considering they have to pay developers the same amount whether they're updating the app for 80% of phones, or the 0.2% using old operating systems

                    Nokia S40 is still my favourite phone OS, for sure.
                    (Currently using a Nokia 208 as my daily driver).

                    But I can understand why they would stop supporting it..

                      What a sarcastic heading of the news,why not ended for Android old devices or ended for older iOS devices

                        Love my BlackBerry Bold!

                              What's problem! I still have Nokia E5 (Symbian 60) where WhatsApp support ended. Later I bought Nokia3 only for WhatsApp! I was not on WhatsApp during that period but everything was same as earlier on new WhatsApp. Nokia S40 users can safely migrate to Android, if they want.

                                Shanti Dope, 02 Jan 2019I know nobody cares, but I just installed this app on my ph... moreIn Estonia, a lot of people are using Viber (those, who doesn't use FB Messenger). Whatsapp is not popular here. Dunno though, if it supports feature phones. All i know that support for Symbian S60+ was cut back in 2017. (I currently run it on desktop, Windows Phone 10 and Pie.)

                                        I just downgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 and found out that WhatsApp cannot be downloaded, not even an older version of it, and you need like iOS 7 or 8 to even download it. But what should you expect, this firmware is 6 years old
