Which iPhone Will Not Support WhatsApp?

WhatsApp is one of the world’s most popular messaging platforms, with over two billion monthly active users. In recent years, it has become an essential tool for people to stay in touch with friends and family.

But not all iPhones are created equal when it comes to using WhatsApp.

The oldest iPhone that can be used for WhatsApp is the iPhone 5S, released in 2013. This device is still supported by Apple’s latest iOS 13 operating system and so can be used to install and run the latest version of WhatsApp. However, since the iPhone 5S lacks certain features that newer iPhones have, such as a fingerprint sensor and support for facial recognition, users may experience some limitations.

The next oldest model of iPhone which can be used for WhatsApp is the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, which were released in 2014. These devices are also still supported by iOS 13 and so can be used to download and use WhatsApp without any issues. The same applies to the iPhone 6s/6s Plus (2015) and iPhone SE (2016).

Any iPhones released after 2016 will not support WhatsApp as they come pre-installed with iOS 14 or later, which does not support the application. This includes all models of the iPhone 7/7 Plus (2016), iPhone 8/8 Plus (2017), iPhone X/XR/XS/XS Max (2018), iphone 11/11 Pro/11 Pro Max (2019) and the recently released iphone 12 series.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, any iPhones released before 2016 will support Whatsapp while any iPhones released after 2016 will not support Whatsapp because they come pre-installed with iOS 14 or later, which does not support the application.
