WhatsApp support ends for iOS9 devices

New Delhi: WhatsApp has published a new support document that shares details on ending support for devices running iOS 9 and earlier versions of the operating system (OS).

To date, iOS 9 users were able to use the encrypted chat service.

However, now iOS 10 is required which means users will need an iPhone 5 or later model to use WhatsApp.

The change will affect users of the iPhone 4S for the most part, but this is still only a tiny percentage of iPhone users.
