Whatsapp said that currently there is no alternative to transferring your chat history between platforms. However, this will provide the option to send your chat history with an email.
"Decided because we will not be actively developing for these platforms and some features may stop working at any time. When we are waiting for our next seven years, we want to focus our efforts on the mobile platforms most people use. Whatsapp said in a statement, do not do the platforms / phones they offer to expand their facilities in the future.
Starting with Nokia’s S40 series, WhatsApp will stop working on these old Nokia phones after December 31. However, the devices running Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread and older version will be ending WhatsApp support after February 1, 2020. It won’t impact many users as only 0.3 percent of the Android smartphones are running Android Gingerbread platform.
Similarly post-February 2020, some old iPhones running iOS 7 and older versions will not be able to run WhatsApp. Apple had provided update to most devices with iOS 7 to higher version, so in case you still want to use it, you will be required to update your phone in order to continue using WhatsApp. Additionally, you can opt for feature phones like JioPhone, JioPhone 2 and Nokia 8110 4G, as they provide support for WhatsApp on KaiOS.
