You can use WhatsApp without any problem if you have a fairly recent iOS or Android smartphone. The opportunity to discover the new features regularly added by Meta.WhatsApp will notably accommodate the transcription of voice messagesin the coming weeks as the community has been asking for for years now. On the other hand, we must not forget that WhatsApp continually stops supporting older iPhone models. We will soon have to say goodbye to the instant messaging applicationif you have a smartphone with iOS 15.1 or earlier.
WhatsApp will disappear from iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in May 2025
The site WaBetaInfo discovered a message in the latest beta version of WhatsApp indicating that the application will no longer be availableon versions prior to iOS 15.1 from May 5, 2025.If you have an iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, you will no longer be able to use instant messaging.
You still have a little time to change devices before you can no longer access WhatsApp. You can very well decide todelete your WhatsApp account from your iPhoneif you plan to resell it. You just have to remember to back up your data before if you care about your messages and files.
Remember that the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 are more than ten years old, which explains Meta's decision. The company favors modern versions of iOS as they include updated APIs that WhatsApp leverages to deliver new features, while also being more secure. The app remains compatible with iOS 12 and later until next spring.
