Why the company decided by the company

The biggest reason behind this decision taken by whatsapp is security. Apple is no longer issuing software updates for these old iOS versions, so users of this device may face security dangers. Without consistent security patches, users may be victims of data violations – so whatsapp is asking people to go to new hardware and operating systems.

In the last few months, whatsapp has introduced several updates to improve users’ privacy and personal data security. A special privilege feature is that no one can now copy text, image or video from chat and group conversations – this feature prevents from sharing or abusing it without sensitive content consent.
