WhatsApp will raise its minimum software requirement for iPhones from November 30, 2026, requiring iOS 15.5 or later, up from the current iOS 15.1. The change affects five older iPhone models: iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and three others. Affected users do not necessarily need to buy a new phone, as the devices can still run iOS 15.8.x, and installing the latest available software update should allow continued use of WhatsApp. Users are advised to check for software updates before the deadline.
