WhatsApp To Discontinue Support For iOS 10 And iOS 11 In The Coming Months

Last Updated on May 23, 2022 by Anu Joy

Recently, WhatsApp issued two big updates with a slew of new features, including the ability to exchange 2GB files, the ability to leave groups silently, and rich links in the Status, among others. Now, in order to maintain a balanced experience across platforms, the company must always upgrade to the most recent releases. WhatsApp is known for discontinuing support for outdated Android and iOS devices. According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will phase off support for iOS 10 and iOS 11 on iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C in the coming months.

According to the report, WhatsApp will stop supporting iOS 10 and iOS 11 on October 24, 2022. WhatsApp has declared on their blog that iOS 12 and later versions are recommended for optimal usability.

If your iPhone is still on iOS 10, you’ll need to upgrade to iOS 12 to continue using WhatsApp on your iPhone 5S, 6, or 6S. If you have an older iOS version loaded, some of WhatsApp’s more modern features will simply not work. Every iOS update includes the most latest security updates, and it’s always a good idea to get the update to avoid security threats and lose out on features.
