Messaging App Will Discontinue Support for Devices Running Android 5.0 or Lower and iOS 12 or Earlier

Starting June 1, 2025, WhatsApp will end support for 37 smartphone models using outdated operating systems. This measure will affect devices operating on Android 5.0 or earlier and iOS 12 or earlier, making it impossible to use the app on those devices.

Reason for Discontinuation

WhatsApp, owned by Meta, conducts regular analyses to identify devices and operating systems that no longer receive security updates or do not support the latest features of the app. Based on these analyses, the company decides to discontinue support for certain models to ensure a safer and more efficient experience for the majority of users.

Affected Models

The list of devices that will lose access to WhatsApp includes popular models released about a decade ago. Among the affected devices are:

Recommendation for Users

Users with these models should check the possibility of upgrading their device’s operating system. If an upgrade is not feasible, it is advisable to consider acquiring a more recent smartphone that is compatible with the current versions of WhatsApp. The company emphasizes that keeping the app updated is essential to ensure security and proper functionality performance.

Communication to Users

WhatsApp will directly inform affected users about the discontinuation of support, allowing them to take necessary measures before the specified date. This approach aims to minimize disruptions and ensure that users can migrate to compatible devices in a planned manner.

Importance of Updates

Here is the rewritten paragraph, with each sentence containing a maximum of 24 words and approximately 50% transition words: The decision, therefore, to end support for old devices is directly aligned with Meta’s strategy to prioritize technical and operational improvements. Moreover, by focusing on more recent operating systems, the company can implement innovations requiring higher processing capacity and integration with new technologies. As a result, WhatsApp ensures more advanced features and simultaneously significantly raises the security standards for the majority of active users.
