By dropping iOS 10 and iOS 11, WhatsApp will effectively stop working on certain iPhones, particularly those that were launched as far back as 2012 and 2013. That said, all hope is not lost for some of these phones thanks to Apple’s long support period. Phones like the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6s will still support the app as long as they’re upgraded to iOS 12 before the deadline. Given how iOS 16 is already around the corner, it might indeed be high time to make that change regardless.
Things are not so rosy for owners of the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c, which were launched in 2012 and 2013, respectively. These phones are stuck at iOS 11 and can’t upgrade to iOS 12 at all. Assuming there are still owners of these 10-year-old phones, they will have to upgrade to a new device if they want to continue using WhatsApp. Fortunately, migrating to a new phone, even to a different platform, has become easier on WhatsApp these days.
WhatsApp will pull the plug on iOS 10 and iOS 11 on October 24, 2022. It is perhaps no coincidence that iOS 16 will most likely launch around that time as well. The next version of iOS is expected to finally drop support for the iPhone 6s, among others, so it’s probably a good time as any for those old models to take the plunge with a new version of iOS anyway.
