WhatsApp: the list of Android and iOS phones that will stop working in the app

WhatsApp is the most widely used instant messaging service in the world. The application is available on iOS and Android devices; However, in just a few weeks it will stop working on certain models since the platform is forced to require increasingly powerful devices.
