WhatsApp Will Stop Working on These iPhones in 2025: Check List

WhatsApp is offering a five-month heads-up to users of these devices to upgrade or consider alternatives to continue using the service. Users can simply back up their WhatsApp chat history to iCloud and restore their chat history and media to the newer device with WhatsApp’s chat transfer feature.

WhatsApp is known for introducing new and updated features across platforms, and for that, it relies on updated APIs and improved technologies offered by newer iOS versions. Hence, the platform needs to discontinue support for older software versions for a uniform user experience across all platforms and devices.

Apart from these popular iPhones, WhatsApp will also stop working on KaiOS devices, starting in 2025. This includes popular feature phones like JioPhone, JioPhone 2, and more that will no longer support the instant messaging platform. WhatsApp has already stopped accepting registration from new users on KaiOS and has restricted download access.
