WhatsApp blocks access on some iPhones due to their iOS version: what to do to regain access
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported45m ago
WhatsApp has begun blocking user access and login attempts on mobile devices running outdated operating systems, affecting both iPhone and Android users. Rather than requiring a new version of the messaging application itself, the security enforcement displays a blocking screen that prevents users from proceeding until they update their device's underlying software.
The measure impacts individuals who have not kept their mobile operating systems current, effectively cutting off access to their accounts until the required software updates are installed.
