You won't be able to use WhatsApp on these Android phones and iPhones; support ends on this date..

There is significant news for iPhone and Android users: WhatsApp has recently updated its FAQ page to specify which operating systems will soon lose support for the app. WABetaInfo, a site that tracks WhatsApp developments, was the first to report that support will end for iPhone models running iOS 15.4 or older versions.

Support is ending not only for older iPhones but also for older Android phones. According to the company's official FAQ page, WhatsApp will only support Android 6 and newer versions; this means the app will stop working on phones running older versions.

**Support ends on this date**
According to WhatsApp's official FAQ page, support for smartphones running Android OS will cease on September 8, 2026. Meanwhile, support for iPhone models running iOS will end on November 30, 2026. This means that after these dates, if your phone is not running the required operating systems, you will no longer be able to use WhatsApp.

**What do you need to do to use WhatsApp? ****
If your phone is running an older version, you will need to upgrade to a new phone; otherwise, you will not be able to use your WhatsApp account. Before switching phones, check your device settings to ensure there are no pending software updates. If a software update is pending, install it first and then verify which OS your phone is running.
