End of WhatsApp support for old iPhones + list of phones

WhatsApp support for older iPhones will stop in the coming months. See if your iPhone is one of them.

In the next few months, WhatsApp will stop working on older iPhones running iOS 10 and iOS 11. This report was published by WABetaInfo, which is a reliable source for WhatsApp internal news.

The screenshot published by this website shows that the WhatsApp application will no longer be supported on older iPhones from October 24 this year (November 2). Even on the WhatsApp FAQ page, the minimum operating system to support the app is iOS 12.

Because older iPhone 5 and iPhone 5Cs can no longer receive iOS 12, they will no longer be supported by WhatsApp. However, it is unlikely that anyone will still use the iPhone 5, which dates back to 2012.

As WABetaInfo points out, ending support for older versions of iOS is essential to implementing the new features that appear in WhatsApp. Updating the phone to the latest version also allows the user to get the latest operating system security patches; Therefore, we recommend that you always update your iPhone to the latest version.
