In this case, the latest update of WhatsApp requires iOS 12so all iPhones that cannot reach this version will not be able to install the messaging app. And although they are quite old models, it is likely that you have some of them at home, or use them as a secondary mobile phone.
iPhones where WhatsApp will no longer work
Your iPhone may be on a version lower than iOS 12, however, it does not mean that it does not have a higher version to update to, although it is strange that you have not already done so, so instead of looking at the version, you I am going to directly say the iPhones that are left out of this list, and that, therefore, since December 1That is, this Sunday, they will not be able to open WhatsApp again.
- iPhone (2007)
- iPhone 3G (2008)
- iPhone 3GS (2009)
- iPhone 4 (2010)
- iPhone 4S (2011)
- iPhone 5 (2012)
- iPhone 5C (2013)
Therefore, we talk about phones from more than 10 years agothe iPhone 5S being the last one that will be able to receive iOS 12, and, therefore, continue using WhatsApp.
If you use one of these iPhones, and stay a little more than 24 hours to use it, we recommend making a backup copy of your conversations in iCloud, since once done, you will be able to access them from any iPhone that is available. WhatsApp, so these will not be lost.
In summary, If you have a device on the list, you won’t have much to doand not only will you notice how WhatsApp stops working, but all similar applications as well, some such as banking ones, are even faster in requesting recent versions, so it is possible that on none of those iPhones you can already have your bank or other apps.
If you have one of these older models, it’s time to start thinking about what to do with your device. While it may still work for basic things like calling or texting, it will become increasingly difficult to use it as a real smartphone.
Remember that, even if calls continue to work, or you can use the calculator, for example, It is not recommended to connect these devices to the networkbecause the vulnerabilities and security gaps in them are very high, since they have not had support for many years, and they could access your iCloud, photos, etc., so be careful and think about recycling your iPhone.
And you, are you one of those who still have a relic in your possession, or have you already moved on to more current iPhones, leaving those models far behind? Leave us a comment with your experiences, and if you are going to have to change your phone, although having an iPhone 5 today, and it works well, is being very optimistic.
