WhatsApp keeps moving forward, and it has been incorporating new tools and functionalities in the mobile version of their instant messaging service. However, as of today (June 1), a number of cellphone devices will no longer be compatible with the chat application. As a result, millions of users will now have to revise their options to keep making use of this service.
