WhatsApp, a major social media platform owned by Mark Zuckerberg will from December 31, 2022 block at least 49 mobile phones.
Majority of the phones on the list are extremely old, and it’s likely that only a very small number of people use them.
Some of them are actually so old that nobody may be using the phone. This merely indicates that the majority of smartphone users shouldn’t be concerned about WhatsApp’s support ceasing.
