WhatsApp will not work on iPhone from October!, know the reason

WhatsApp, one of the most popular instant messaging apps owned by Facebook, will stop working on iPhones running iOS 10 and iOS 11, such as iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C, later this year. According to a screenshot shared by WABetaInfo and an article posted by the WhatsApp Help Center, only iOS 12 and newer versions will be supported by WhatsApp. Let us know how WhatsApp will stop working on iPhone.

WhatsApp will not work on these versions of iPhone

Users using WhatsApp on iOS 10 and iOS 11 will have to update to iOS 12 to continue using the messaging app. You can still continue to use WhatsApp on the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6s, but you’ll need to update to the latest version of iOS. If you are an Android user, then to use WhatsApp, your phone needs to work on OS 4.1 or latest.

WhatsApp may also be discontinued on these iPhones in the future

But now WhatsApp will not be available on iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C because iOS 12 is not compatible with these iPhones. WWDC 2022 is coming in a few weeks and we are expecting Apple iOS 16 to be announced during it. Rumors suggest that iOS 16 will stop working on iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.

New features will come on WhatsApp

Instant messaging app WhatsApp has released new features and is working on some updates. The instant messaging app has introduced emoji reactions and is working on rich link previews for status updates. Rich Link feature will give viewers more information about the link which will provide great convenience to the users. Some features are currently being tested on the iOS app. It is also expected to be available for Android and desktop users in the coming update.
