Starting today, February 1, the popular WhatsApp messenger will stop supporting legacy Android and Android operating systems (version 2.3.7 and later) and iOS (8 and earlier versions). This is stated in a message on the developers site.

In order to use the application, owners of devices with an outdated operating system are recommended to upgrade to Android 4.0.3, iOS 9 and their later versions, as well as to phones based on KaiOS 2.5.1 and newer. It is noted that you cannot transfer chat history from one platform to another, but users have the opportunity to export their chat history by email.
