Keeping in mind the operating system versions that are out of WhatsApp, we can say that if your mobile phone is more than six or seven years old then it can be affected. But let’s analyze why WhatsApp will not work on these phones, case by case.
Android
Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 was introduced in 2011. Google itself gave up support for ice cream sandwich earlier this year, so it is more likely that if your device is less than six years old,then you have updated it in later versions of Android.

settings. Depending on the usage you used, the route will be slightly different, so you can enter the word “Android” in the Settings Browser and click on the results to know what’s on your Smartphone.
