Starting May 5, 2025, WhatsApp will no longer support devices running iOS versions older than iOS 15.1. This update affects older iPhone models, including the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus. Users with these devices will lose access to the messaging app after this date.
What This Means for Affected Users
If you’re using one of these devices, you’ll need to switch to a newer model to continue using WhatsApp. Until then, you can back up your chat history to iCloud. This will allow you to restore your conversations when you move to a supported device.
Prepare for the Change
With the deadline approaching, it’s essential to act soon, notes NIXSOLUTIONS. Backing up your data ensures you don’t lose important conversations. If you’re planning to upgrade, we’ll keep you updated on any additional features or changes WhatsApp might introduce for newer devices.
