Check Your Android OS In Order To Use New Version Of WhatsApp On Your Phone

Check Android OS So You Can Still Use WhatsApp on Smartphones (Antara)

YOGYAKARTA - It is certain that a number of mobile phones cannot use the WhatsApp application after November 1, 2021. This is due to WhatsApp's policy which states that phones with older versions of the Android system cannot use their application services.

Quoted from the announcement on the official WhatsApp website, Android phones that are certain to not be able to use the WhatsApp application are phones that still use the old Android operating system such as Android OS 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and even older versions.

Therefore, to ensure that your phone can still use WhatsApp, users must check the operating system used by your Android. If you're using an older Android, you can upgrade to the latest version, provided that your phone supports installing a newer operating system.

However, if your phone does not support device updates, users can change your device to a newer model so that they can still use the WhatsApp application after November 1, 2021.

Before doing this, you should first check the operating system used by your phone in the way that the VOI team has compiled as follows.

How to Check Your Android Version

To find out the operating system used by your OS or Android, users can open the settings menu or "Settings" on your phone.

Next, you can scroll down the screen, until you find a menu about your phone or "About Phone" which is available in the settings menu.

Click the menu, so that various information about your Android phone will appear, ranging from the name of the phone, model, IMEI number, RAM capacity, to the type of processor used.

To make sure your phone can still run the WhatsApp application after November 1, 2021, you can check the "Android version" information on the page.

You can find out the Android operating system used by your phone easily in the menu.

Furthermore, if your phone has an operating system newer than OS 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, then users don't need to worry because your phone model will still be able to use the WhatsApp application.

However, if your Android operating system is still using version 4.0.4, users can try to upgrade to a newer version, provided that your phone supports device updates.

That's how to find out the Android operating system used by OS or Android-based phones. If your phone is the latest version of Android, you can still use WhatsApp after November 1, 2021.
