WhatsApp will stop working on a range of iPhones today - is yours on the list?

  • As of May 5, 2025, WhatsApp discontinued support for several older Apple smartphone models, including those that cannot update to iOS 15.1, causing the app to stop functioning on devices such as the 5s, 6, and 6 Plus versions.
  • Meta phased out support for these models because they cannot run iOS 15.1, now the minimum requirement for WhatsApp usage.
  • These devices were discontinued by Apple in 2016 and are labeled obsolete, meaning they no longer receive official software updates or security patches.
  • WhatsApp has over two billion users but only a small portion use affected iPhones, and Meta regularly updates compatibility to maintain security and functionality.
  • This change forces users of older iPhones to upgrade their devices to continue using WhatsApp, marking an end to support for decade-old technology.
