First of all, let us tell you that according to WhatsApp, currently WhatsApp service has been stopped on devices running Android 4 or older and iOS 11 or older. Only those devices will get WhatsApp support and updates, which are running on Android 5 or newer and iOS 12 or newer. But a big change is going to happen in May next year.

To continue using WhatsApp on their iPhone, users will need to update it to version 15.1 or newer. If you also run the iPhone models mentioned above, check for updates by going to Settings > General > Instrument Replace.
WhatsApp says that one of the main reasons for this change is that the new version of iOS includes updated APIs and better technology on which WhatsApp relies to deliver new features.
