Starting June 1, 2025, WhatsApp has officially ceased support for several older iPhone models, including the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus. This move is part of Meta’s routine software update cycle aimed at enhancing security and performance. The affected devices are those that cannot upgrade to at least iOS 15.1, which is now the minimum requirement for WhatsApp to function properly.

Originally slated for May 5, the update was postponed to June 1 to provide users additional time to transition. Users of the affected devices are advised to upgrade to newer models to continue using WhatsApp’s messaging services.
This change is expected to have limited impact in developed regions, where the usage of older smartphones is minimal. However, it may affect users in regions where older devices are still prevalent.
