WhatsApp will soon stop working on these iPhones. Is yours on the list?

If you use WhatsApp on an older iPhone, you may soon need to upgrade to a newer model to continue using the app. WhatsApp’s updated policy will soon require a more recent version of iOS, impacting older devices.

According to a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will stop functioning on certain iPhone models starting May 2025. This includes popular devices like the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus, as these models are capped at iOS 12.5.7, the last software update they received.
