The new month brings with it also novelties from a computer and technological point of view. IPhone owners will have to take the measures with the new provisions of WhatsAppthe most popular message app in Italy and in the world. In fact, Meta has communicated that, precisely starting from June 2025, the application will no longer work on some iPhone models, as support has finished. Here are the models involved and what this final block entails.
WhatsApp has officially finished support for iOS versions prior to 15.1. This, of course, has repercussions on the older iPhone models. Among these are iPhone 5 and IPhone5s. In addition to all iPhone 6 and iPhone 6Plus. The decision to end the support for the following models, previously, was scheduled for May 5 of this year. On the contrary, on the contrary, he decided to wait a month to facilitate a successful success of this change that involves the most messer messenger app apps by Italians and beyond.
For owners of these models, the consequences are as clear as drastic: if they want to continue using they will be forced to change the phone. Or, at least, smartphone model. Or rather, the users involved will no longer be able to access WhatsApp via the app, while the possibility of using the via browser platform through web.whatsapp.com remains available, which obviously offers a much more limited and less fluid experience than the mobile version.
Equally necessary, as WhatsApp directly recommends, a chat backup on iCloud will be backup and then use the “transfer chat” function to restore the messages and multimedia content on the new device.
