WhatsApp for iPhone requires iOS 8 or newer. On iOS 7.1.2, you will no longer be able to create a new account or use existing accounts, according to a statement on WhatsApp's official website on Thursday (20/9).
For iPhone users who are still using iOS 7.1.2, they can still use the WhatsApp application until February 1, 2020. "iOS 6 and lower (older versions) no longer support," said the statement.
To get the best experience, users are recommended to use the latest version of iOS available. Please visit the Apple Support website to learn how to update your smartphone software.
"We don't explicitly limit the use of devices that are 'jailbroken' or not locked. However, because these modifications can affect the functioning of your device, we cannot provide support for devices that use a modified version of the iPhone operating system," Whatsapp said.
While Apple in its support page mentions that devices that support iOS 8.4.1, the operating system that is still supported by WhatsApp, at least include the iPhone 4s, iPad 2, iPad mini, iPod touch (fifth generation), or newer.
With the absence of support from WhatsApp for iOS 6 devices and then iOS 7.1.2, there are likely to be millions of iPhone users who can no longer use WhatsApp if only they don't update the Apple operating system immediately. Most iPhone models are very popular on the market. Based on Apple's record, on June 26, 2010, the company sold 1.7 million units of the iPhone 4 in just three days after launch.
