WhatsApp says that devices that run on Nokia S40 won’t be able to use WhatsApp after December 31, i.e., today. Support was expected to end in June this year, but WhatsApp extended it till December, bringing some relief to the few Nokia S40 users.
We presume the number of people affected by this end of support will be very few, as the Nokia S40 OS is extremely old – first unveiled in 1999, updated in 2005., and last used on Nokia 515 in 2013. The app will stop working on phones running Android 2.3.7 and older (Gingerbread) and iPhone 3GS/ iOS 6 from February 1, 2020.

- Nokia 206 Single SIM and dual SIM models
