WhatsApp drops support for Symbian app to stop working on Dec 31

If you are among the few remaining users to rely on a Symbian-powered smartphone, we have some bad news for you - WhatsApp will stop working by the end of this year.

A popup message now appears to every WhatsApp users on Symbian OS:

Unfortunately, you wont be able to use WhatsApp after 31/12/2016 because WhatsApp will no longer support your phone.

It seems WhatsApp will be retiring its Symbian-dedicated servers and thus the app will no longer work after that. While it is a sad moment, we have to still applaud WhatsApp for its prolonged support for Symbian OS.

WhatsApps departure from Symbian doesnt mean the OS is dead, but its surely another nail in its coffin.
