Aumenta la lista degli smartphone non più compatibili con WhatsApp dopo la decisione di estendere l'elenco anche ai dispositivi al di sotto della versione 4.0.3 di Android. Non c'è stato un vero e proprio annuncio come quello dello scorso 1 febbraio quando si era interrotto il supporto da Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread e iOs 8 e il motivo è presto detto.
In fact, all those devices are cut with the Android HoneyComb versions still (between 3.0 and 3.2.6) and the first release of the subsequent Ice Cream Sandwich or 4.0.In the first case, it is above all tablet since HoneyComb had been designed for devices from the big screen, while in the second he considers himself a very small portion of the immense range of the OS of the green robot, less than 0.2% according to data updated to last April.
A minimum but not negligible slice since there are markets where the old Androids are still very present.At the same time, many users - especially the most mature or in any case not very experienced - never update their cell phone and risk seeing WhatsApp stop working suddenly.How to do it if you return in these cases?
The first step is to verify that in fact the malfunction of WhatsApp is due to this reason. Si dovrà dunque seguire il percorso Impostazioni > Info telefono / Informazioni su questo dispositivo.In the field relating to the Android version it will be necessary to check both equal to or greater than 4.0.3.
Se sì, allora da Impostazioni > Sistema e aggiornamenti > Aggiornamento software, si può controllare se il dispositivo sia compatibile a passare a una versione successiva. In caso positivo si può procedere (dopo aver eseguito backup ovvero salvataggio dei dati sul cloud o locale) e si procederà anche ad aggiornare WhatsApp da Google Play > Le mie app e i miei giochi > Aggiornamenti > WhatsApp > Aggiorna.
If it is impossible then unfortunately there is no other solution than either choose an alternative app to WhatsApp that was compatible or change smartphones.Among the other cell phones considered in the last round of exclusions there are also those with Kaios 2.5.1 and subsequent as the two Jiophone and Jiophone 2.
Why does WhatsApp regularly cuts old smartphones?Because old versions of the operating system do not hold up the new features and are less safe.Furthermore, it is economically not very convenient in terms of development.
