WhatsApp It was officially launched in 2009, so its trajectory of more than 10 years ranks it as one of the mobile applications that has been available for more devices since the smartphone boom, including Apple’s iPhone line.
However, the instant messaging app with more than 2,000 million users around the world has been updated since then, with more and better functions, which among many other things have made the program more complete, but also heavier.
For that and other reasons, some old telephony workhorses can no longer support the appsuch as the following iPhone models that, unfortunately for those who still use them, WhatsApp will stop running in 2023.
As the report published on the website of Mega Newsthe applications are platforms that are constantly changing and updating to adapt to the new models that the big manufacturers put on sale, leaving behind, in the past, the old devices.
The iPhones on which WhatsApp will stop working in 2023
When Meta updates WhatsApp with certain functions, they are intended for versions of operating systems released in recent years, which allow all functions to be used. For that reason, some phones stop having app support.
Meta explained that WhatsApp will stop working on all iPhones that work with operating system prior to iOS 12.1. That means that two Apple cell phone models will not be able to continue running the app. We are talking about the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5Cboth released 10 years ago, in 2012.
It will be from January 1, 2023 when these models stop receiving support for WhatsApp.
