This step of WhatsApp is going to affect Apple users also. The company has said that it will not support iPhones running iOS versions earlier than 15.1 from May 5, 2025. The company is giving 5 months time to its users so that they can switch to the updated iOS versions. This will affect those users who are using iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. iPhone users whose devices are still running on the old software will have to upgrade to the new version.
