Default WhatsApp will not work on some iPhones from February 1, 2020: All you need to know

Those iPhone users who have not upgraded to the latest version of the iOS for long, there is one more reason to do so. If your iPhone is currently on*iOS 8, then you will be able to use WhatsApp only until February 1, 2020. The popular messaging platform informed about the same via its FAQ page.*“On iOS 8, you can no longer create new accounts or reverify existing accounts,” said the update.

“For the best experience, we recommend you use the latest version of iOS available for your phone,” WhatsApp said. So iPhone users will need iOS 9 or later to run WhatsApp.*“We don’t explicitly restrict the use of jailbroken or unlocked devices. However, because these modifications might affect the functionality of your device, we can’t provide support for devices using modified versions of the iPhone’s operating system,” it added.
