The affected devices are: iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus.

Beyond this date, only devices running the iOS 15.1 operating system or higher version would be supported.

The WhatsApp Spokesperson said, “Every year we look at which devices and software are the oldest and have the fewest users.

It's noteworthy that the oldest of the affected phones, iPhone 5s, was released over a decade ago, in 2013 precisely, while the most recent, iPhone 6 Plus, was released just a year later in 2014.
