WhatsApp to continue supporting older Android versions till 2020
Just yesterday, we told you that WhatsApp's support for the BlackBerry platform has been extended till the end of this year. Now it has come to light that the Facebook-owned company's website has been updated, stating that the app will continue to support older Android versions till 2020.
If you recall, back in February last year, WhatsApp said they'll stop supporting Android 2.1 and Android 2.2 (and some other, non-Android platforms) by the end of 2016. But a quick look at the same webpage now reveals that users will be able to use the service on "Android versions 2.3.7 and older" till February 1, 2020.
Keep in mind, however, that you may not be able to enjoy all latest and greatest WhatsApp features, as the company says it no longer actively develops for these platforms.
