Whatsapp stops supporting gingerbread phones
Table of contents:
As time goes by, the applications stop supporting old versions of Android. This is the case now with WhatsApp that announces that it will stop supporting Gingerbread. Ten years ago this version of the operating system hit the market and there is still a small percentage of users who use it. For them the support ends soon.
WhatsApp stops supporting phones with Gingerbread
It will be from February 1, 2020 when the support ends. From this date they will not receive any more updates to the application in this version.
End of support
From WhatsApp they comment that users who have a phone with Android Gingerbread will be able to continue using the application at all times. Updates for that version simply stop being released, which ends up creating a compatibility problem after some time on said phones. But in principle they can continue using it normally.
It is usual for this to happen, since these types of versions have few users at present, so that support for them ends. In fact, it is unusual for support to continue when this version will soon be ten years on the market. So they have been able to use the app for a long time.
If you have an Android Gingerbread phone, you will be able to continue using WhatsApp. Just remember that from February 1, 2020 you will not have any more updates to the messaging application. So at some point you may have to renew your device.
