WhatsApp app is being updated quite constantly lately with new features and improvements, but this also means that over time some operating systems end up making old operating systems obsolete. This means that some users will be affected, since their old terminals cannot run the new versions of the development… and this is what will happen shortly with a new installment of the messaging app we are talking about. It has been known, through the information that has appeared in the latest WhatsApp test version, that a good number of terminals will not be able to use the work we are talking about. The reason is none other than adding new options that result in Android devices prior to the year 2024 not being able to run the company’s application, which is now owned by Meta. That is to say, that such widespread works of Google development, such as Jelly Bean or Kit Kat, will be affected. The latest test version of WhatsApp makes it clear We are not talking about something that is official, at least for the moment, but in the latest iteration of the version of the application we are talking about (which is 2.23.9.2 for terminals with Google’s operating system), things are perfectly clear as indicated in the source of the information. In other words, in order to continue enjoying the new features included in the app, you must have Android 5.0 or higher. Obviously, we are talking about a low percentage of the mobile phones that are active with Android, but it is true that there are still some (generally aimed at the elderly or children). Therefore, the ideal is that you review the Settings of the device to see if you are going to have problems or not, since it is not ruled out that this restriction will be applied in a short time for the stable version and, therefore, that it affects everyone users (and it is not a bad idea for reasons of improved security and fluidity in the execution of the application) Another novelty that comes to the application In the latest test version of WhatsApp it has also been detected that a redesign of the interface user that will allow faster access to the different categories of emojis, stickers and animated GIFs that exist in the application (this option will now be located at the top of the screen). However, this design process is still in testing and it is unclear when or how it will be implemented. >
