WhatsApp recently announced on its official page that it will discontinue support and updates for certain iPhone models starting May 5, 2025.
This decision will directly affect users of the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus models, who will no longer be able to use the app after that date.
In order to keep WhatsApp working on Apple devices, iOS 15.1 or later must be installed. Those with earlier versions of the operating system will no longer be able to access the app.
It is important to note that even users of newer iPhones may be affected if they are using an outdated version of iOS. Therefore, it is essential to keep your device up to date. To check for available updates, simply go to your device’s settings and look for the “Software Update” option.
WhatsApp will notify users affected by this change, and it is recommended to back up conversations if a device change is necessary. For now, Android users will not be impacted by this change and can continue using the app as usual.
