TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Operating system based smartphone users Android Devices with version 4.0.3 and below and above iOS 9 or earlier will not be able to access WhatsApp services until November 1, 2021. This is because some of the new features in WhatsApp are not compatible with these devices.

Selain itu WhatsApp juga meragukan keamanan sistem perangkat lawas sehingga demi menghindari peretasan akun penggunanya, developer aplikasi perpesanan ini memutuskan untuk menghentikan layanan mereka di ponsel tersebut.

Kendati begitu, WhatsApp tidak akan menghapus akun pengguna yang menggunakan ponsel yang akan diblacklist ini. Sehingga bagi Anda yang menggunakan ponsel dengan sistem operasi Android 4.0.3 atau iOS 9, tetap dapat menggunakan akun WhatsApp Anda setelah jatuh tempo 1 November 2021. Untuk itu, agar data di WhatsApp Anda tidak hilang, baik pesan, dokumen, dan file-file berharga lainnya, sebaiknya lakukan pencadangan dengan mengunggahnya di penyimpanan awan atau cloud.  

Dilansir dari entrepreneur.com, WhatsApp menyarankan penggunanya untuk hijrah ke model perangkat yang lebih baru agar dapat terus menggunakan aplikasi perpesanan ini dan menghindari penutupan akun besar-besaran. Jika tidak, pengguna tidak akan dapat lagi menikmati fungsi aplikasi.

Before you switch to a new device, you will not be able to access the WhatsApp web, because in order to access the platform, WhatsApp Web requires you to scan the QR code of the downloaded application on the phone, which in some cases may not be visible.

If you are using a WhatsApp blacklisted device and you are worried that the app will stop working on your mobile device, you should make a backup to save your chat history before November 1st. Here are the steps:

1. Open WhatsApp on your phone and go to the 3 dot menu in the top right corner.

2. Go to ‘Settings’ and select ‘Chats’.

3. Click ‘Chat Suggestions’ and then ‘Suggestions’.

When you get a new WhatsApp compatible device, you can log back into WhatsApp with your account or number and download your backup data. The option will appear when you are ready to enter your number and one-time use code, making sure you do not skip this process for downloading again. Depending on the size of the file you are downloading, it may take a long time to download everything. Use a WiFi network to make your internet quota more stable and secure.
