WhatsApp has officially announced that from May 5, 2025, it will not support iOS 15.1 and older versions. This means that WhatsApp will not work on iPhones that have iOS 15.1 or older versions. This includes the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus. This change will affect not only WhatsApp apps but also WhatsApp Business apps because both apps work with the same code and system.

Important information for those using older iOS versions

If you are using iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, or iPhone 6 Plus and your device has a version older than iOS 15.1, then you will have to either update your device or buy a new iPhone to continue using WhatsApp. This change will affect users who have iOS 12.5.7 or older, which was the last update for these device models.
