> the apps that are actually used (WhatsApp, online banking) will be working with the S7 for many years to come

I have several apps that no longer work on my otherwise good phone bought in 2018 because I can no longer update the OS that they require.



Can you give any examples? My apps only stop upgrading, not stop working out of the blue.

Edit: This is a honest question.


Banking apps are a common example that requires you to be on latest, yet my phone is stuck in Android 10 land.

Whatsapp also no longer works on it, thus the phone is useless.

Which is sad, as it has a great camera, battery life and is very light.


That sounds like LG. Amazing camera and audio and I'm never buying one again.


Should be easy given they haven't made them for over 4 years.
