WABetaInfo stated, “Unfortunately, due to some internal reasons, WhatsApp is now really planning to drop the support for certain iOS versions over the coming months: we are talking about iOS 10 and iOS 11!.” There was a screenshot in the report, which says “Update to the latest version of iOS to continue using WhatsApp.

Consequently, WhatsApp is planning to remove the support for iOS 11, IOS 10, iOS 5C, and iOS 5 in the coming months. Even before the launch of the iPhone 14 on September 7, users of iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C need to look for an upgraded version of the iPhone or may have to find an alternative for WhatsApp.Īccording to the reports from WABetaInfo, the Reason for this brutal decision is that the company wants to promote new functionality of iPhones, which is not possible to operate on older models of iPhones. So is the case with iPhone 5C and iPhone 5. Same as any brand or product, when new models launch in the market, older ones lose their importance. After October 24, 2022, WhatsApp will probably stop working on iPhone 5C and iPhone 5.
