WhatsApp recently announced that its app will not work on iPhones models that do not have an iOS 10 or later operating system.
In a statement, he recommended the most up-to-date version of the system, “For a better experience.” He indicated that they do not explicitly restrict the use of released or unlocked devices.
“However, due to changes in device functionality caused by these modifications, we are unable to provide support if the iPhone has a modified version of the operating system,” the company reported.
In addition, those with the iOS 9 system, version inaugurated in 2015, will not be able to install WhatsApp. Those with an earlier version will not lose access to the app if it is already installed, however, it will begin to lose functionality.
Some of the computers that will not be able to update to the latest version of WhatsApp are those prior to the iPhone 4s, which only have updates to iOS version 9.3.6.
Also, system updates will not be able to run on products such as iPad 2 and 3, and iPad mini 1 and iPod touch 5G.
In contrast, older Apple devices that have iOS 10 are the iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7, as well as the ES plus. All models from the iPhone 5 can upgrade their system to iOS 10.3.4.
