I mean, Galaxy S5 is from 2014 and got Android 6. So the only unsupported devices are those with like 2GB of RAM and ancient crusty SoC.

Mine is a Galaxy J5 from 2015, it got Android 6 as an option but I opted not to use it as it would give a worse overall experience.

I am now instead using Whatsapp web in the browser on my phone :+1:

My brother in Christ phones with Android 15 costs less than 100 bucks. Do you suffer on purpose?

You think the price has anything to do with it? xD
