Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) was released back in 2011, and it has been almost a decade since it first came out. In that time, the Android OS has gone through several major updates and re-iterations, with the latest version being Android 10.
As such, many of the apps and services that were available on ICS are no longer supported on the newer versions of the OS. So, does WhatsApp still support Android 4.0 ICS?
The answer is both yes and no. While WhatsApp may still work on devices running ICS, the company behind it has officially stopped supporting devices running this version of Android. This means that users who are still using devices running ICS will not be able to receive any new updates or features from WhatsApp.
WhatsApp is also phasing out support for devices running versions of Android older than 7.0 Nougat as well as iPhones running iOS 8 or earlier versions. This means that if you are still using a device running either of these OSes, you will not be able to use WhatsApp for much longer.
However, if you do have an older device running ICS or an iPhone running iOS 8 or earlier versions, there are still some ways in which you can use WhatsApp. For example, you can use third-party apps like Whatsapp Plus or GBWhatsapp which provide added features to users who cannot access the official app.
Conclusion:
Though WhatsApp has officially stopped supporting Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), users may still be able to use third-party apps like Whatsapp Plus or GBWhatsapp on their older devices to access some of the features offered by WhatsApp.
