In fact, you will probably receive a message in the same application informing you that your device is no longer compatible and recommending a change. Thus, over time you will notice that some elements will no longer be displayed correctly, because your cell phone does not recognize the changes.

If the above happens, before changing your device and moving your account to the new phone, you must first create a backup, this way you will guarantee that your conversations will be shown on your new cell phone.
