WhatsApp will stop working on iPhone 6S, SE, and more starting November 1

Bad news for those still holding on to their iPhone 6S—WhatsApp will stop working starting November 1.

And it’s not just the 6S. It’s the 6, SE, and all earlier models that have no higher than Apple’s iOS 10, plus a whole host of Android and KaiOS phones.

Anything older than Android OS 4.1 and KaiOS 2.5.1 will no longer be compatible with WhatsApp, and will not receive support from Facebook/WhatsApp in the future.

The good news, however, is that WhatsApp will be getting a new feature—allowing users to migrate their chats when switching from iOS to Samsung Android.

“To start, this feature is available on any Samsung device running Android 10 or higher, and will be available on more Android devices soon,” says WhatsApp.

The catch is it will have to be done when you are first setting up your phone.

“Your new Android device must be factory new or reset to factory settings,” says WhatsApp, or will have to reset to factory settings.

“This is just a start. We look forward to making this option available for more people to switch between platforms of their choice and securely take their chats with them,” promised WhatsApp.

WhatsApp also recently introduced disappearing messages.
