I don't get it. Does apple want to destroy itself?
By making Whatsapp unavailable for iPhone 3G everyone with an iPhone 3G will buy a new Samsung
I now need to get my new Samsung because all apple's are way to expensive and the benefit of an iphone is not that big anymore...
Please apple make something happen that changes this.
iPhone 3G
So the only reason to have an iPhone is to use WhatsApp?
Actually it is because the iPhone 3G is to old to use anyother app's..

Buy a new iPhone.
I don't need any other apps only Whatsapp.
And it was working fine on my iPhone 3G but today they started to say it would not work anymore.
I don't understand why apple does this because if they didn't change anything everyone was happy
It's NOT Apple who does it. It's WhatsApp who does it. Don't blame Apple for something they are not responsible for.

Many people are asking why we’ve stopped supporting the iPhone 3G. It’s because Apple has stopped supporting old iOS versions and old iPhones in their most recent version 4.5 of Xcode, which is the tool (the only tool) that engineers use to make iPhone apps.
The iPhone 3G has a special place for me in my heart – it was the first smartphone I bought in January of 2009 and it was the first phone on which we started developing WhatsApp just a month later.
Then as now, however, we must follow Apple’s lead on all things related to the iPhone. Their pace of innovation has a price of forced obsolescence.
Thats a BS, passing-the-buck, incompetent answer on Whatsapp's part. This subject has been endlessly talked about in these forums.
Should you want to waste your time arguing nonsense, look at this thread...
You will do the same answer for an Imac 2009 this year!!! through away because is too old and buy a new one every 4 years.... that is not a good system... Whatsapp says that " apple does not allow new app updates in older versions of IOS than 6.0
They say that because they are incompetent.
Thats what I am going to do and I encourage all duped to do the same.
Just as a matter of principal

Apple sells and distributes the app on our behalf. You can request a refund from Apple / iTunes Support: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
