What to do if your cell phone is on the list?

The indication in the face of this news is to change your cell phone, there is no way! You should opt for models that offer Android from 4.1 and iOS 10. 

 

If your device has the KaiOS 2.5.1 operating system and even versions above, it will also continue to accept the app. If you are going to change devices, it is good to remember that transferring the history of your conversations may be limited if it is on different platforms. The best way is to transfer the history by email.
