Why is WhatsApp stopping on some phones?
The reason for the incompatibility is very simple: an increase in the technical and software requirements of WhatsApp.
This means that the aforementioned models will be below the performance required for the app to work properly with other phones.
However, it’s not entirely the end if you have one of the above models, you can also use WhatsApp Web from any browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge...) without downloading or installing anything. Just search for the site online and you’re good to go.
