WhatsApp plans to drop support for some Android and iOS phones on October 24, 2022. The messaging platform typically does this when it wants to introduce features to the app that may not work on older versions of phones.
This time, iOS 10, iOS 11, iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C will take the lead, according to TechCentral.
Will we be able to use iPhone 6s in 2022?
The answer, and my opinion, is yes. Many times the latest technology is not necessary to live and everything will depend on the needs of the users.
From my point of view, if you are not a demanding user, who does not use the camera to take very promising photos, who hardly uses social networks and who does not want a smartphone to call and stay in touch with your loved ones dear ones through a messaging app, surely you have had enough with an iPhone 6 or 6s.
Display
At launch, the sleek industrial design was accompanied by a number of hardware upgrades on the inside, but it was the display that had the most significant impact. With the increase in size, Apple has increased the resolution of the iPhone 6 to 750 x 1344, resulting in a pixel density of 327ppi (a fraction higher than the iPhone 5s’ 326ppi), and it looks very sharp.
Brightness, contrast, and color accuracy were also exemplary for its time, with the iPhone reaching a maximum brightness of 585 cd/m2, earning an astonishing 1423:1 contrast ratio, a rating of very impressive color accuracy with a Delta E of 1.74 and 95% sRGB coverage. This contrast ratio is particularly notable and is a significant improvement over the 5s’ 972:1, giving on-screen images a bit more depth and vibrancy.
WhatsApp will drop support for iPhone 5 and other devices running iOS 12
“Unfortunately, for internal reasons, WhatsApp now supports some versions of iOS during the coming months: we are talking about iOS 10 and iOS 11”, reveals WABetaInfo in a report. This reveals a screenshot with the following message: “Update Update to the latest version of iOS to continue using WhatsApp. version of iOS after 24 October 2022.
Which iPhones will stop working in 2022?
AT&T shuts down 3G | Owners of iPhone 5s and above will lose service AT&T recently announced that it will shut down its 3G service on February 22, 2022. This means that some older devices will stop working after that date, including the iPhone 5s and earlier.agb_7)
Also, some iOS 15 features will not work on the iPhone e 7, because they require at least an iPhone with A12. iOS 16 will be out later this year, and we believe Apple will continue to support the 2020 iPhone SE. (We’ve heard the original iPhone SE won’t be so lucky)
