WhatsApp To Shut Down Support For Several Smartphones and Operating Systems As Of 2020

In January 2019, the WhatsApp instant messaging app will be ten years old. The platform, developed by Brian Acton and Jan Koum as a smart agenda, has ever since evolved into one of the most popular messaging applications on iOS and Android. All that thanks to its features.

After Facebook purchased it in 2013, the company has introduced a large number of new features including GIFs, WhatsApp stickers, and WhatsApp stories. However, not every smartphone can run the most recent WhatsApp updates, so here are those smartphones that won’t support WhatsApp starting with 2020.

As I’ve mentioned, not all mobiles can support the new WhatsApp features. For the same reason, the company devised a route plan in December 2016 announcing that it would begin to cancel support for those smartphones that do not have the necessary capabilities to support future upgrades.

WhatsApp To Shut Down Support For Several Smartphones and Operating Systems As Of 2020

In June 2017, the WhatsApp became inaccessible for all Android 2.1. and 2.2., Windows Phone 7, iOS 6 and iPhone 3GS devices. A decision that also affected Nokia Symbian S60 users. As of January 1st, 2019, WhatsApp will shut down support for Nokia S40 either, as the company explains on its official blog.

Through a statement, the company confirmed that the list of mobile phones that will not enjoy WhatsApp support would be expanded to 2020. Specifically, the application will stop working on all mobile phones with Android 2.3.7 operating system or earlier and iPhone mobiles with iOS 7.

As a result, the popular instant messaging platform will no longer work on one of Apple’s most iconic mobile phones, the iPhone 4. In short, if you have any of these mobile phones and want to continue using some favorite messaging apps, you will have to look for alternatives such as Facebook Messenger or Telegram to be able to communicate with your family and friends.

Huawei Enjoy 9 Leaks Revealed Its Technical Specifications

Although Huawei’s top-of-the-range mobiles are the most popular, this Chinese brand also has a wide range of mid-range smartphones and, among them, there is the Huawei Enjoy series that always provides some excellent features. Now, Huawei Enjoy 9 tech specs leaked.

The mid-range Huawei Enjoy 9 Plus device would not reach American and European markets under the same name, so we’ll receive this device as Huawei Y9 2019, presented in October. Now, we don’t yet know how Huawei Enjoy 9 would be called in American and European markets.

One of the main specifications that stand out directly from the images leaked by the Slashleaks website is the small “O-shaped” notch at the top of the screen. It is a very similar design to the one Huawei created for the Huawei Mate 20. According to these Huawei Enjoy 9 leaks, the device would boast a 6.26-inches and an HD Plus resolution.

Huawei Enjoy 9 Leaks Revealed Its Technical Specifications

Under the hood, Huawei Enjoy 9 would pack a Snapdragon 450 processor, accompanied by either 4 Gb or 6 Gb of RAM and up to 512 Gb of internal storage. The capacity of the battery would be 4,000 mAh, promising a substantial autonomy. On the back, Huawei Enjoy 9 would equip a dual-camera setup with one sensor of 13 MP and another of only 2 megapixels. The cameras would be backed up an artificial intelligence system developed by Huawei to enhance the photographic quality.

According to the Huawei Enjoy 9 leaks provided by Slashleaks, the smartphone would still include a micro USB connector and 3.5-mm headphones jack. However, the device would not have a fingerprint sensor and facial recognition.

This upcoming Huawei Enjoy 9 will be available in a wide range of colors, such as Aurora Blue, Magic Night Black, Coral Red, or Aurora Purple. Additionally, it would come out with Android 8.1 and Huawei’s EMUI 8.2.

PlayStation Classic Rolls Out Today, So Sony Revealed More Details

Sony has launched an official video showing in great detail the content of PlayStation Classic. Now, we can see how the new mini version of the original PlayStation is designed to look as close as possible to the original console, but in a much smaller format. To be more precise, it has dimensions of 149 x 33 x 105 mm, 45% less than the size of the original console.

The Sony’s PlayStation Classic comes out with 20 PlayStation games, such as Battle Arena Toshinden, Cool Boarders 2, Destruction Derby, Final Fantasy VII, Grand Theft Auto, Intelligent Qube, Jumping Flash! Metal Gear Solid, Mr. Driller, Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, Rayman, Resident Evil Director’s Cut, Revelations: Persona, Ridge Racer Type 4, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Syphon Filter, Tekken 3, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, Twisted Metal, and Wild Arms.

The PlayStation Classic console has a video resolution of 720p or 480p, so it will possibly rescale depending on which device is used to play. The two included controllers have 1.5-m cables, and the 2-m HDMI cable can be used to connect the system to the TV, as it is not compatible with any other video or audio method. Regarding the controls, the only ones compatible are those included with the PlayStation Classic.

Sony Revealed More Details On Its PlayStation Classic Which Rolls Out Today

Each of the before-mentioned PlayStation Classic titles has 15 virtual memory card slots, which you can manage in the console’s main interface. As with the original PlayStation, if you delete a save file, it will be lost and cannot be recovered. On the other hand, the reset button allows you to return to the central system interface and create a save point from the moment you started playing.

The next time you play that game, you can start from the save point you created. Also, when you reach the end of a disc in games that initially had several discs, such as Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid, for which you’ll need to press the open button on the console to switch to the next virtual disc.

System Link is not available on PlayStation Classic. However, you can play split-screen multiplayer with compatible games. Sony also warns that it will not be possible to download new games for the console, buy them, or use the original PlayStation games. In addition to that, for the moment, there are no plans to bring content updates to the system.

Google Hangouts To Shut Down In 2020, According To News Report

Google Hangouts rolled out on May 15th, 2013, and is expected to shut down soon. The service would have suffered from the multiplication of similar applications in the same ecosystem. You may not have known it, but Hangouts is still active, but app set up by Google in 2013 will not have much longer, however.

Google Hangouts To Shut Down In 2020

At least that is what the 9to5Google site indicates, which, according to reliable sources, states that the service will close in 2020. So you would have a whole year at your disposal to use Google Hangouts if you feel like it, although most users have already ditched the platform. The service no longer supports third-party applications, so it is, therefore, no longer possible to create new ones with APIs.

The proliferation of instant messaging apps has not helped Google Hangouts adoption, especially since Google put the app in the background as it focused on the development of Google Duo and Allo.

In other news, Google would now like to transform Android Messages into an RCS client, a protocol that is supposed to replace SMS.

Google’s Scott Johnston Disagrees The News

Scott Johnston, who is working on the software suite including Hangouts Meet, Chat and Google Voice, said no specific decisions had been made in this regard within Google. According to him, Google Hangouts users will be upgraded to Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet.

“I run Hangouts, and this is pretty shoddy reporting. No decisions made about when Hangouts will be shut down. Hangouts users will be upgraded to Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet. Your source is severely misinformed. You can do better,” said Scott Johnston on Twitter, replying to the article posted by 9to5Google.

Visibly annoyed about the 9to5Google report, Johnston, nevertheless, confirmed in another answer that the “classic” Google Hangouts version would eventually shut down. We can imagine that Google is waiting to put in place a concrete alternative (other than Google Allo, as the app is not at all popular) before making a decision.
