WhatsApp to no longer work for these iPhones

The widely-used social messaging app WhatsApp, recently left iPhone users in a frenzy after it released a list of old models of the phone for which support will soon be discontinued.

According to the new decision, users can still use WhatsApp on iOS 8 but won’t be able to verify the account if they reinstall it.

As per WABetainfo, WhatsApp will no longer support devices running on iOS 8. “On iOS, you can no longer create new accounts or reverify existing accounts,” the update said.

WhatsApp has been adding up new features regularly and some of these features require powerful phones and newer Android and iOS versions to function properly.

“For the best experience, we recommend you use the latest version of iOS available for your phone,” WhatsApp said.

“We don’t explicitly restrict the use of jailbroken or unlocked devices. However, because these modifications might affect the functionality of your device, we can’t provide support for devices using modified versions of the iPhone’s operating system,” it added.

It is recommended to all the iPhone users to update their operating systems before February 1, 2020.
