WhatsApp will no longer support users who are using an older version of the iPhone and WhatsApp has said this will come into force as early as 24 October 2022.
A screenshot shared by WABetaInfo shows that users of iOS 10 and iPhone later version iOS 11 will no longer be supported to have the new version of WhatsApp and will not fix security support as well. So, it has abandoned the oldest versions iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c.
Because of these two oldest devices of the iPhone. One iPhone 5 and another one is iPhone 5c have no support from Apple Inc. to update these two devices to the newest version of iOS 12.
However, iOS is the minimum requirement for WhatsApp to support iPhone users. This is not something new at all for Android users. Before this information for iOS 10 and iOS 11 users. WhatsApp disseminates a message to Android users that were using Android version 4.0.4 and tells them to update to Android version 4.1. In order to use the new and updated version of the WhatsApp instant messaging platform.
Last year iPhone users were served with a piece of fake news. Where the iPhone users using versions iOS 10 and iOS 11 were told that they would have to update their iPhone versions iOS 10 iOS 11 to 12 to use WhatsApp’s new version. However, that was not true at that time.
But now there is no doubt that the users of iOS 10 and iOS 11 have to update their older iPhone version to iOS 12. This will be implemented in the coming months as soon as 24 October 2022.
If we see users of iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c. There is not a big number of these phone users. In fact, if you are using any of these versions of the iPhone, it will not be possible for you to update iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c to iOS 12. As these two iPhone devices do not have the availability to upgrade to iOS 12. But if you have an iPhone 5s it means an iOS update is for you. They can update their iPhone device iPhone 5s to iOS 12 and start getting new updates on WhatsApp and other necessary supports.
