According to a recent rumour, iPhone models running iOS 10 or iOS 11 will shortly stop supporting WhatsApp. According to reports, the modifications will go into effect on October 24. For users of earlier iPhone models to continue using WhatsApp, their devices must be updated to iOS 12 or later versions. This action can compel owners of the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c to upgrade to a newer iPhone model. According to a different report, updating these iPhone models to a fresh iOS version is not viable.
Apple will soon stop supporting WhatsApp on the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c, according a WABetaInfo report from May. By October 24, WhatsApp may stop supporting iOS 10 and iOS 11, according to the report.
Users of the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c may need to upgrade their phones' hardware since an iOS version that supports WhatsApp cannot be installed without resorting to a hardware upgrade. Users of iPhone 5s or later models can update to iOS 12 and keep receiving support for WhatsApp, nevertheless.
WhatsApp has updated its FAQ page to reflect these changes in its criteria. iPhone users will need to install iOS 12 or a more recent upgrade in order to continue using the messaging service on their devices. In contrast, the software continues to support Android 4.1-based smartphones.
Most Apple customers shouldn't have any issues with this update. According to their data, iOS 15 has been adopted by 89 percent of iPhone owners. Furthermore, iOS 15 has been updated by 82% of all Apple users. Only 4% of users are on iOS 13 or an older version.
Go to Settings > General > Software Upgrade on your iPhone and choose the iOS version you want to install.
