WhatsApp is finally planning to drop support to a few more iOS devices soon,
as the company will no longer work with iPhones running iOS 10 and iOS 11
starting later this year. Heres what you need to know.
According to WABetaInfo, the company is now warning iPhone users running iOS
10 or iOS 11 that they need to update their iPhones in order to keep using
WhatsApp after 24th October.
Update the latest version of iOS to continue using WhatsApp
WhatsApp will stop supporting this version of iOS after 24 Oct 2022. Please
go to Settings> General, then tap Software Update to get the latest iOS
version
If youre worried about which devices run iOS 10 and iOS 11 nowadays, here
they are:
iPhone 5;
iPhone 5c.
With that in mind, users that have these iPhones wont be able to use
WhatsApp starting in October. Those who have an iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, or
iPhone 6s running iOS 12 dont have to worry for now, as the company will
keep supporting them.
On WhatsApp Help Center, the company already states that iPhone users need
to be running iOS 12 or newer to keep using the app. Android users, for
example, need OS 4.1 or newer.
While WhatsApp will finally drop support for these phones, we are also only
a couple of weeks away from WWDC 2022, where Apple should announce iOS 16.
Rumors say that this operating system will stop working with the iPhone 6s,
iPhone 6s Plus, and the original iPhone SE.
Of course, 9to5Mac will remind users when WhatsApp drops support for more
devices as well as which iPhones will be able to run the latest operating
system.
Do you know anyone that uses WhatsApp and still has an iPhone 5 or 5c? Share
this news with them.
