WhatsApp has said that its instant messaging app will stop working on all phones running Microsoft Windows OS from Tuesday, December 31. It should be noted that Facebook, the precedent of WhatsApp, stopped people from creating new accounts on Windows phones earlier in the year, Daily Mail reports. The reason for doing so, according to the company, was because it has stopped developing updates for the platform, and as such there would not be new updates or features for the OS.
