WhatsApp has announced a major update that will affect millions of Apple users worldwide, including people using older iPhones, iPads, iMacs and MacBooks.
The Meta-owned messaging platform confirmed that beginning November 30, 2026, WhatsApp will only support devices running iOS 15.5 or newer. The change will also apply to WhatsApp Business users.
The decision means users operating older versions of Apple’s software may lose access to the messaging app unless they update their devices before the deadline.
