However, the final moment is here and the app is expected to be blocked on 52 devices.

For Android, many popular phones will lose access, including the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Huawei Ascend Mate.

This is possible when you update your handset and if it’s too old to update, you might just have to upgrade it to remain among the 2 billion users of the app globally.
