Facebook-owned messaging platform WhatsApp has ended support for iPhones running on iOS 9, according to a recently updated support document from WhatsApp. Apple iPhones require at least iOS 10 in order to run WhatsApp starting now, meaning all iPhone 5 and above users can continue using the Facebook-owned instant messaging app.
This also means that the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s will lose support for the popular messaging app. The iPhone 5 was updated till iOS 10.3. For Android, WhatsApp is currently supported on Android smartphones running on Android 4.0.3 or newer. Apart from iOS and Android, WhatsApp also runs on KaiOS, which is used on several feature phones including Jio Phone and Jio Phone 2.
