WhatsApp Update
Tech News. If you use WhatsApp on an old iPhone, then this news is very important for you. WhatsApp, the most used messaging app in the world, will now stop working on some old iPhones. This platform owned by Meta is discontinuing support on selected iPhones from May 5, 2025. According to the company's official statement, WhatsApp will now only work on iPhones running on iOS 15.1 or newer versions. That is, if your device does not support this version or you have not updated it, then you will completely lose the use of this app - no messages, no calls and no notifications.
The devices for which WhatsApp has announced the end of support include these iPhones:
The biggest reason behind this decision is security. Apple has now stopped providing software updates for these old iPhones, due to which these devices can be vulnerable to potential cyber threats. Without regular security updates, users' privacy and data remain at risk and this is the reason why WhatsApp has decided to stop support on these devices.
If your iPhone is on this list, then your best option is to buy a new iPhone as soon as possible. iPhone 8, iPhone X and newer models will continue to support WhatsApp for now. However, it is also worth noting that these models are also gradually becoming outdated and support for them may be discontinued in the future. If WhatsApp is an essential communication medium for you, then it would be wise to plan an upgrade now to stay connected without any interruption.
In conclusion, if you are also among those users who are still using an old iPhone, then now is the time to upgrade. Keeping pace with technology to stay connected with important services like WhatsApp is no longer a compulsion, it has become a necessity.
