The Bitter Truth About iCloud Reactivation Lock

If you've ever used an iPhone for quite some time or you are a long-term user..., or even so a Apple fan -like you love their products (Apple Fanboy they call them😏) then you're most likely familiar with "iCloud" yeah said "i-C-L-O-U-D".
iCloud  is a cloud storage and cloud computing service from Apple Inc. launched on October 12, 2011. Under this great service of free storage for backup and restore comes a feature called 'Find My iPhone'. But see this is not a iPhone-only feature but also covers other Apple products like the iPad, Macs and other Apple products. 

                                                An iPhone with reactivation lock (iCloud)

Below are some of the 4 things you should know before activating Find My iPhone:

1.) Once you activate Find My iPhone and forget your password, or security questions; lets say you did create it by yourself, you can't turn it off, yeah you can't turn it off with out a password baby!

2.) If Find My iPhone is on but you're not sure of the password then you shouldn't bother restoring it because you'll be locked out!

3.) There is a would-be master key for iCloud and Apple ID called a 'Recovery Key', this is a 14 combination of digits and letters. If you ever forget anything concerning your login info you could use this key as a rescue that's why Apple tells you to keep it safe like your ATM PIN.

4.) If you ever consider selling your iPhone or iPad to someone or just giving it away then don't forget to turn off this feature off, even Apple advises you to. 

Plus if someone is selling to you an iPhone in a situation like in the above picture convincing you that it's just a lock that can be flushed away on a computer lets say, my friend you might end up disappointed because this is not just a simple lock to walk over.
Some videos claim replacing some IC on the motherboard but isn't an IC just a damn new phone?

Apple made it more difficult to hack or bypass this security and it gets better everyday, the more they release updates the more patches covered. Even when someone really bypassed a reactivation lock they still wouldn't beat the network cause that's another task for the day as far as I know.
Your iPhone must connect to Apple servers to be activated for network to operate. Still can't deny there's a couple hackers out there that can do wonders on devices like these but aren't easy to find like that.

Whatsapp Support To Be Discontinued On Lower-end Smartphones By 2020

Most lower end smartphone users might already be encountering messages notifying them about the pending discontinue of support for their phones that will take effect by the year 2020. Its no surprise most of the famous brands like Blackberry, Nokia, Samsung e.t.c had some of their top of the line series removed (hell yeah!). 
For Android phones running below Kitkat, Nokia Lumia Windows phones on 8.1 Update and below are on the red line not to mention many Windows phones below 8.1 that were stopped way too earlier.

In a digital world we're living in now, messaging apps like Whatsapp have widely became popular so having a smartphone that no longer supports Whatsapp is a pain especially if you're into digital messaging. 
If you're asking what you could about it then all I can tell you is to update your phone if only there is an update available; let's say you are on Android 2.** but your phone can update to Kitkat then you try to do that, if you are on a Windows phone unfortunately only a few can support Windows 10 mobile check here to view devices that can upgrade to Windows 10.
Thanks for your time Reader💖
