According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp support for older iOS versions will be terminated. The affected versions are iOS 15.0, 15.1, 15.2, 15.3 and 15.4, which will no longer be supported after that date, while the same applies to iPadOS 15.5. Here's everything you need to know.
This change also affects WhatsApp Business
For your information, WhatsApp Business is also affected by the same end-of-support date for the app. Therefore, users are encouraged to update iOS before the end date to avoid any disruption to use. This is especially handy for everyone in Malaysia because we do not need to buy a new device, as the present iPhone already supports iOS 15. So, it can be updated to the newer version without having to change phones.
Moreover, WhatsApp has been trying to support older iOS versions so that more users can continue to use the app. However, supporting older iOS devices requires a lot of effort and can slow down the development of new features. Therefore, the move to end support for older versions is considered necessary to ensure that WhatsApp remains stable and able to offer the latest functionality.
