WhatsApp, owned by Meta, halts support today for outdated iPhone models: 5s, 6, and 6 Plus. These devices can no longer use WhatsApp, marking a shift to iOS 15.1 as the new minimum requirement.

The message is clear: adapt or be cut off. In this relentless march of technology, staying connected means staying current.
