WhatsApp is ending support on these iPhones models, here's why

WhatsApp has become an integral part of our lives. Yes, we all know it. The app has held all of us connected since its arrival here. We can’t really function without checking up on all the updates from our day. Also, after the Covid hit the globe, its significance has only increased. However, have you ever thought that what if the platform suddenly disappears? How are we going to get the updates on that important meeting? What would be the possible way to decide on that weekend getaway? If not, then start imaging as WhatsApp is soon dropping its support on some iPhones and iOS versions. Check out if the list has yours too!

WhatsApp ending support on older iOS versions and iPhones

As per a fresh report published on WAPBetaInfo, the platforms have started giving warnings to the users who are still using the older iOS versions. So, the models running on iOS 10 and iOS 11 will not be able to access WhatsApp any longer.

WhatsApp ending support on older iOS versions and iPhones

So, this directly points towards the users of iPhone 5 and iPhone as both the models are not compatible with iOS 12. Hence, these users will be unable to use WhatsApp once the new modifications are implemented. According to screenshots received by WABetaInfo, and confirmed by the WhatsApp Help Center, it only lists iOS 12 and newer versions as supported and recommended by its operating systems. The thing to be highlighted here is that it doesn’t have any supporting information for the older iOS versions.

WhatsApp ending support on iPhones: Why upgrade to a newer version

While the reasons for the change are unknown, the instant messaging service frequently discontinues support for earlier versions of Android and iOS in order to offer new features that may not operate on those platforms. Additionally, WhatsApp always tries to improve its security by integrating new modifications, so this explains the whole plot.

Why upgrade to a newer version- Whatsapp ending support on iPhones

Another good reason to upgrade to the higher operating system is that the users will be able to use the updated software patches and security specs.

These users can still access it

Users with the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, or iPhone 6s need not worry for now, as iOS 12 is still supporting the App. WhatsApp has also updated its FAQ page with these guidelines, saying, “We support iOS 12 or newer, but we recommend using the latest version available.”

This news comes just days after it was revealed that WhatsApp is working to improve its functionality with loads of new features. Here’s a quick overview of what the platform has planned for the coming days:

Download all your WhatsApp data

Reportedly, WhatsApp Desktop is developing a feature that would allow users to download all their account information easily. Users won’t even need to use the app on their phones. While it already allows users to download all the information it collects about them, it is still only available on mobile unless you are on a particular beta version of the desktop interface.

Silently exit the group

WhatsApp will soon allow the users to make a quiet exit from all unnecessary conversations as well as groups. The feature is called the Silent Exit which will allow the members to leave groups quietly. Also, other group members will not be aware of their exit, which is one of the best parts of it. As per the information on WABetaInfo, only the members who have left their groups and their group admins will be notified about it. WABetaInfo said, “WhatsApp normally adds a system message in the chat to inform all participants that you exited the group: this information will only show up to group admins in the future. Group admins should always be notified about what happens in their groups, so it is needed to show them who exited a group.”

Quick message reactions

The feature has made quite a thud in the market since its availability. It was also one of the most-awaited features on WhatsApp. Just like Instagram, users can now react to messages and save themselves from all the forced conversations they had to be part of before. You get five emojis and you can use whichever suits your conversation the best, Reactions feature on WhatsApp start rolling out today, says Mark Zuckerberg. Now you can easily show your affection and still walk away nicely from all the awkward texts using the heart emoji in your WhatsApp chats. Here’s a quick guide on how you can use the reactions if you still struggling to do it! Read here: Here’s your quick guide on how to react to any WhatsApp messages

Realme about to debut it’s Tablet X with a lot of big moves added to it

Realme has all geared up to launch its first domestic tablet PC- Realme Pad X Tablet on May 26, 2022. The gadget is launching in its home country China with some fresh features and specs. Since the launch is quite significant, the news has quickly attracted the attention of a large number of netizens on the Internet. In simple words, this is the talk of today and tomorrow, till the gadget reaches the global market.

The leaks are spreading like a wildfire talking about the specs, features, price, and colour options for this upcoming gadget. Isn’t it quite complicated to look here and there for the same product? So, this is a whole summary of what we know, so far!

Realme Pad X: Launch date

The brand has officially teased the Tablet X a few days ago mentioning the date and reveal time for the same. The teaser image doesn’t have the complete look of the tablet, but just a portion showing and asking everyone to stay tuned.

Realme Pad X: Launch date

The official Weibo post calls the upcoming Tablet X the “king of tablets” and the teaser image shows the rear portion of the device. The post clearly says that the Realme Pad X 5G will hit the Chinese market on May 26, 2022. The time of the event is 2 pm IST. Realme has also teased the latest tablet will feature many specs that the Xiaomi Pad 5 lacked. While, on the other hand, some are quite similar to it as well.

Realme Pad X: Expected price

Although there’s no official information about the price of the upcoming Realme Pad X 5G, some leaks have been around the gadget. It might be a budget option under INR 30,000 in India. The gadget will be up in the arena with Xiaomi and Huawei.

Realme Pad X: Expected specs

Generally, Realme Pad starts from INR 13,999 and goes up to Rs 17,999 in India. Coming to the Realme Pad Mini is retailing between INR 10,999 and INR 14,999. The Xiaomi Pad 5 is a much higher version in this segment and hence priced at INR 26,999 and a maximum price of Rs 28,999. So, looking at this range overview, we can expect the Pad 5G to come under INR 30,000 in India. Another thing to note here, if the Realme Pad X goes on sale in India, it would compete with Samsung. Why? Because it also offers a number of popular Android tablets in the given segment.

Realme Pad X: Expected specs

 Coming to the specifications, Realme’s CMO confirmed that the upcoming Realme Pad X 5G will pack the Snapdragon 870 processor to power its CPU. This is also the same, found in the Xiaomi Pad 5. It is also expected to have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ SoC variant as well, dubbed the Master Explorer edition in China. Furthermore, the device will have a 2.5k LCD Display with a Full HD+ resolution of 2,520×1,680 pixels, (confirmed via Weibo post). It will also feature a 120Hz refresh rate on top.

Realme Pad X: Expected specs

Talking about connectivity, the Realme Pad 5 is said to host 5G connectivity for its users. Now, this is what makes it more different from the Xiaomi Pad 5 as it lacks the 5G connectivity. This is also going to be one of the distinct features why people would choose it over the Xiaomi Pad 5. Some more images on Weibo also suggest that it will sport quad-chamber speakers and volume rockerz as well.

Coming to the battery power of this gadget, it will host 8,360mAh battery power to manage all the multi-tasking well. Realme Pad X is also speculated to feature a Stylus in the box.

Furthermore, talking about the storage and RAM options, the latest Realme Pad 5 5G will come in two storage variants. The 4GB RAM variant will pack 64GB storage and the 6GB RAM variant will feature 128GB storage onboard. The renders also suggest that the tablet will feature a single camera at the front. However, there’s no information on the detailed lens pixels and aperture. So, this is going to be really interesting how the brand is planning to project the lens details.

Realme Pad X: Colour options

With all the leaks going around specs and price, it is only fair enough to talk about what are the colour options available with the tablet. So, as per the Weibo leak, the Realme Pad will come in three stunning and gorgeous colour options: Bright Chessboard Green, Star Grey, and Sea Salt Blue (Translated version). The Chessboard Green looks more like a real chessboard with bright and neon hints of green all over. The black looks more on the matte side with some greyish detailing on the camera side. Finally, the elegant and easy Blue colour. The Realme stylus is also seen in a White finish in the official image.

Realme Pad X: Colour options

As per the listing on the Chinese e-commerce website, the tablet is up for reservations as well. And, in the above-listed colours.

Those who are familiar with the real me mobile phone know that no matter in which price range, it brings an immersive experience for the users. At the same time, it is very fashionable and elegant in terms of appearance and design as well as very recognizable. So will the upcoming Realme Tablet X carry out the brand strategy of “dare to leapfrog”? The answer, so far,  is yes.
