A number of people who use WhatsApp through their Apple iPhone will see the application disappear from their phone, if they don't upgrade their handset soon.
Those who still use iPhone 5 and 5C's will be affected by an iOS switch, that will prevent them from using the messenger app from Monday, October 24 onwards. The Express reports that it emerged in 2022 that the Meta-owned chatting app would stop supporting these iPhones, and in-app users received an update about this back in May this year.
This update gave people the change to switch out their handset for something more upgraded, in order to continue to use the application. However, the deadline has now hit, and any iPhone 5 or 5C user will be caught out this week if they haven't upgraded.
