I wouldn't care, and no one should. Who the heck uses android 4 in 2024 anyways. It's already great that they're still supporting 5.

Still using an Andriod 6.0 Marshmallow phone daily with WhatsApp, I hope they support it for years more. I like how much longer many apps are supported compared iOS which often requires the latest OS to update just months after Apple release it!

And here we have essentially soft indirect evidence of people that have phones so old and happy with their decade old OS🤣

Aan2007, 10 hours agohow is this news, they dropped support for Android Uh, did you read the content? They're dropping support for older android models. Surprisingly, they were supporting Kitkat until now when I expected Android 6-8 to be the minimum lol.

I'm surprised they're supporting this far back. I was expecting them to drop support for Android 6 (Marshmallow) and older. That would mean devices like Galaxy S6 would no longer be supported.
