Users running devices of all these versions have been restricted from creating new accounts and re-verifying their accounts from now on. However, users can use the already existing account till 1st February.

At present there are millions of such devices, which are working on Android version 2.3.7 or older. Apart from this, the number of iPhone users with iOS 8 and older versions is also very high. If all these users want to avoid losing their account’s chats, they will have to shift their accounts from the specified version to a working device or save all their WhatsApp chats before February 1.

If you are also using WhatsApp on a device working on old Android or iOS version, then we would advise you to save WhatsApp chats before February 1. To save all chats, you have to go inside any chat of WhatsApp and click on the three dots given on the top left. Here you have to click on ‘More’ and click on ‘Export Chat’. Now two options will appear on your screen. Here, if you want to save the media files included in the chat, then you will have to click on ‘include media’ and if you want to save the chat without media files, then you will have to click on ‘Without Media’. Now you will see several options for sending the chat. Here you can select the email app and send the chat to the email account.
