    1. Hello @12:03..below are some reasons..

      1) The latest features including the updated User-interface and much more cant be compatible with those Operating system for those phones mentioned above;so even when you try to install it tells you "Not compatible with this device" OR "This app cant be installed"

      2) Every thing about tech apps and even the various Tech company work hand-in-hand;if they dont give you this option;most people wont buy new phones and patronize the various phone companies;if you dont patronize revenue will go down,if revenue goes down then the apps like WhatsApp etc cant explore with new features to keep their own app ranking high in the global market hence revenue will further decrease for them too..

      If they also say "okay let's not add any feature" we the end user will get bored with time and see finish will enter;next thing is to vacate the app and look for another that is more interesting..example is when snapchat and Tiktok came in

      That's why they doll out each features gradually yearly;this year voice call,next year video call,upper one status update,another will be running of ads and the circle keeps going..

      The target in summary is to keep the money flowing by making you want more of them..

      My little knowledge in tech..

  4. Lord I pray for my sisters, that they will not succumb to Hell gates widening; opening to admit newer people who will sleep their way through to a new phone? So many destinies lost and compromised because of acquiring the things of this life?

    1. Relax. Even with as low as 20k, you can get an Android phone running these newer OS versions. Used phones cost less.

      Delete
    2. Used phone is not advisable nowadays except it is someone close to you that was using it and now sells it to buy new phone. If someone brings a used phone from nowhere for you to buy, pls don't

      Delete
    3. DO NOT BUY USED PHONES.
      DO NOT END UP IN JAIL FOR WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW.
      BETTER TO NOT HAVE PHONE AT ALL.

    1. Update it to the latest OS and you won’t be affected.

  6. Why do I think this is a strategy for people to be changing phones regularly as they tend to make new models yearly.

  9. If u are using an old Android phone u can check the Android version to know if urs will be affected. Just go to settings, about phone and check ur android version. If it's from Android 4 like jelly bean downwards,it will be affected but from 5 upwards is safe. Infinix hot 4 is safe too.

  10. This is how they killed my blackberry Q10, the best phone I have ever used. Now Iphone 6 and 6s have joined them. Next will be 7 and 7plus. If u are buying iphone,buy from XR and 8plus to be safe.
