WhatsApp to stop Working on 3 iPhone models, May 5

The Social Media giant, Meta, has announced that, from May 5, 2025, some iPhone models will stop making use of their messaging platform, WhatsApp.

According to the announcement, anyone still using three particular Apple devices would cease to send or receive messages on the said app.

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.

“These devices also might not have the latest security updates, or might lack the functionality required to run WhatsApp,”

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.

All of these iPhone models were discontinued by Apple in 2016 and were officially declared obsolete.
