Whatsapp Messenger gave Similar grace to Blackberry Users by Extending the Support date Till The end of this Year 2017 Instead of June 30th 2017 as it was earlier announced. I believe with the extension in the time to a period of 3years, you can Upgrade To Higher Android version At least Android 4.0 or even Android 5.0.
If you still operate an Android version 2.0 downwards, you will keep using Whatsapp until the said deadline; but wait, there's more, the company also added that you may not be able to enjoy all latest and mind-blowing WhatsApp features because they no longer actively release new versions of Whatsapp for these phones.

If you could recall, back in February last year, WhatsApp said they'll stop supporting Android 2.1 and Android 2.2 (and some other, non-Android platforms) by the end of 2016. But a quick look at the same source now reveals users will be able to use Whatsapp on "Android versions 2.3.7 and older" till February 1, 2020.
I believe the whatsapp company has done a lot for us and even decided to add to their efforts by extending the time period or what do you think?
