    You would have to tell me where to find that information on my phone for me to comment on that.
    As for your attitude, do you feel better now?

    After 1 February 2020, the app will no longer support phones using the following operating systems:

    Android handsets – versions 2.3.7 or older

    I would point out how the stupidity of this quoting system is only surpassed by the ignorance of these two people but well lest face it My email to the soft wear company will reap better results than talking to these people who all they can do is insult people, have a great Christmas I hope Santa brings you the hugs you both clearly need!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    As long as you've got 2 brains cells to rub together, the quote system works perfectly fine. That said, reading your other comments perhaps technology isn't for you?

    By the way, it's software, not soft wear (unless you're talking about pyjamas).

    To get back on track........

    I recently upgraded my Android phone that was running Android 4.2 to a shiny new phone running Android 9.0. The difference is amazing and not just on WhatsApp - everything just runs better.

    I know it's not exactly money saving to suggest a new phone but sometimes it is just worth it.

    I didn't think anyone was an ignoramus except perhaps OP who started with a comment about 6.0.1 no longer whatsapp use on his phone in the new year. As this did not apply to Android which his phone runs on and he did not bother to check before posting and he then covered his error by being rude to someone else probably best to assume its just a rant posted on the wrong forum.

    So despite the Whats App developers saying they won't be supported, it's fake? You are Donald Trump and I claim my £5!!!
  • Who the heck is still using phones running Android 2.3.7? That's nearly 10 years old for heavens sake. Just the nonsense news from the cheap press.

    Same with the attention grabbing headlines from the Express claiming Windows 7 users are going to be hit with HUGE bills in January. BS.
