WhatsApp will not work on these iPhones from May 5
Not just Android Phones, WhatsApp will also stop supporting iPhones running on iOS 15.1 or older versions. So if you have iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, then you should upgrade it as soon as possible to use WhatsApp. Unlike Android users, iPhone users will have time to upgrade till May 5, 2025.
Why will WhatsApp stop working in your phone?
In fact, from January 1, 2025, WhatsApp will stop working on Android phones running on KitKat, an almost decade-old operating system. This change means that users with older devices released 9-10 years ago will no longer have access to the app.
WhatsApp has ended support for older operating systems to ensure that the app remains secure, efficient and up to date with modern technology. One of the major reasons behind ending support for older OS-powered phones is that older operating systems may contain vulnerabilities that cannot be fixed. It becomes less secure for sensitive data.
What should users do now?
To continue using WhatsApp, it will be necessary to upgrade to a new phone with a supported operating system. You must have a phone running the latest software to use new features on WhatsApp. This decision is in line with the need to maintain the security and functionality of the app, which older software can no longer adequately support.
