WhatsApp to Discontinue Support for Smartphones with Old Android Versions

WhatsApp has announced that it will soon stop supporting smartphones running Android versions older than 6.0 starting September 8. Users with devices on Android 5.0 and 5.1 will no longer be able to use the app after this date. This decision aims to improve the app's performance and security, as older versions hinder the development of new features and increase vulnerability to cyberattacks.
