Starting June 1, 2025, WhatsApp has officially discontinued support for older iPhones, including iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus. These devices are limited to iOS 12.5.7, while WhatsApp now requires iOS 15.1 or later to function.
As a result, users of these models will no longer be able to:
- Send or receive messages
- Access their chats or media
- Use WhatsApp Business features
To preserve their chat history, users are advised to:
- Back up chats to iCloud
- Restore them on a supported iPhone model
This move is part of WhatsApp's ongoing effort to phase out outdated operating systems and ensure better security and feature integration on modern platforms.
