Here are the supported operating systems for WhatsApp:
- Android 5.1 and above
- iPhone running iOS 12 and later
- Phones with KaiOS 2.5.0 and above, including JioPhone and JioPhone 2
- If you are unable to update your device, you will need to switch to a newer device in order to continue using WhatsApp.
WhatsApp regularly reviews the operating systems it supports to ensure that it can continue to provide the best possible experience for its users. When it stops supporting an operating system, it is typically because the operating system is no longer being widely used or is no longer able to meet WhatsApp’s security requirements.
