The world’s most popular messaging application, WhatsApp, is getting more and more features with its new updates. However, the update of the application also heralds the loss of support for old devices.
With the new versions of WhatsApp, the size of the application is increasing. For both this and security reasons, WhatsApp has to end its support for older operating systems. Now two more operating systems have been added to this caravan.
WhatsApp support ends for iOS 10 and iOS 11
WhatsApp has ended its support for many older models in the past months. It turned out that the company owned by Meta will end support for iOS 10 and iOS 11 this time. Wabetainfo, known for its leaks about WhatsApp, revealed the operating systems that support will be discontinued with the screenshot it shared.
Accordingly, iPhones with iOS 10 and iOS 11 operating systems will not be able to use WhatsApp as of October 24, 2022. iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S, which are already using this operating system, will no longer be able to use the popular messaging application on the specified date. However, iPhone 5S users are lucky compared to iPhone 5C users. Because the iOS 12 update is supported by the iPhone 5S, users will be able to use WhatsApp a little more thanks to this version.
The screenshot shared by Wabetainfo states that support for the old iOS operating system will end on October 24, and a newer version will be needed to use the application.
When we look at the iPhone 5 series released in 2012, iOS support has long since ended. Models that cannot get the iOS 12 operating system will say goodbye to WhatsApp on October 24 due to this situation. If you want to use WhatsApp on these devices though, you will need to upgrade to a newer iPhone. Of course, this does not apply to iPhone 5S users with iOS 12.
