WhatsApp has ended support for iOS versions older than iOS 15.1, removing the chat platform’s compatibility with several iPhone models in the process. The change began on June 1, after Meta delayed it from an original planned date of May 5.

WhatsApp is no longer compatible with iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus models. Users with those devices won’t be able to access the encrypted chat service through the app unless they upgrade their iPhone. Alternatively, users can visit web.whatsapp.com in their browser, but the experience won’t be the same.

Users who intend to upgrade can back up their WhatsApp chats to iCloud, and restore their full chat and media history to a newer, supported device using using WhatsApp’s Chat Transfer feature. Instructions on how to do so are outlined in WhatsApp’s Help Center.

In related developments, WhatsApp is now available on the iPad, coming more than 15 years after the messaging service launched. Meta has confirmed that an Instagram app for the iPad is also in the works.
