How to update the Whatsapp version 2.8.7 on my 3g Iphone (IOS 4.2.1)?

I used to have it and it worked perfectly but a couple of days ago it stopped working and it keep showing me a msg saying: "Sorry your version of the app is too old. Please download the latest version from the app store" and when I tried to download the new version it gave me this msg: "This app requires IOS 4.3"

The iPhone 3G is a very old phone so the latest update it can get is iOS 4.2.1, therefore you can't get the newest version of WhatsApp as it requires a later iOS. If I were you, I would just get a new iPhone that can actually get all the new updates.

Then you must try to update your phone… What's the problem in that… New software will b available for 3g… Try updating that…

Can't. The latest version of WhatsApp requires an iOS version higher than what your iPhone can upgrade to. You'd need to get a 3GS at least in order to get iOS 4.3 or higher (highest & latest is 6.0.1)

  • Will I lose my Whatsapp chat history if I updated my iPhone OS version? I'm using an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4+ and I've been wanting to update to iOS 5+ for a long time, but I'm afraid of losing all my Whatsapp conversations once I update. Will I really lose all my chat history? And if so, is there anyway I can easily backup the chats?
  • My iPhone 3G version 4.2 won't download Whatsapp? I'm trying to download Whatsapp, Viber, Heytell etc on my friend's iPhone 3G, but it says 'Update required. This app requires iOS 4.3'. She has version 4.2.1. Before she upgraded her iOS (I don't know what version she had, but it was definitely older than her current one), she had Whatsapp, Viber and all the other apps which are now not downloading. So it seems very strange. Your assistance is much appreciated!
