If you are the owner of these iPhone phones, from next month the WhatsApp application will no longer support your phone and you will have to say goodbye to this messenger.
WhatsApp has finally stopped supporting older iPhones, which means a lot of iPhone models are deprecated. Most smartphones are no longer supported by WhatsApp. This wave of delisting started in November last year, when WhatsApp announced that it would no longer support some devices running KaiOS, Android, and iOS. And now, just a few hours before the unveiling of the iPhone 14 series phones, the news comes that this application only works on iOS 12 and later.
According to this announcement, some iPhone models will inevitably be removed from the group of supporters of this application. Although most users use newer iPhone phones that have been released in the last few years; But there are still few people who still use old iPhones. Thus, iPhone 5 owners should consider upgrading their phones with newer models.
The WABetaInfo website says:
Unfortunately, we have learned that WhatsApp will stop supporting some older versions of the iOS platform in the coming months for some reason. We are talking about iOS 10 and iOS 11.
In this regard, a screenshot was also published in which the opposite message appeared: “To use WhatsApp, update to the latest version of iOS. This application will not support this iOS version from October 24, 2022.
iPhone 5S, 6 and 6S owners can use WhatsApp without any problem
If your iPhone is still using iOS 10 or 11, you must upgrade it to at least iOS 12 to continue using WhatsApp. You can also use this application on iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and 6S, which are the oldest Apple products, after installing iOS 12. However, the iPhone 5 and 5C no longer support iOS 12, and as a result, WhatsApp will drop them by the end of October. The users of these two phones have until that time to transfer their data to another device.
