How To Check And Update IPhone So You Can Still Use WhatsApp After November 1, 2021

YOGYAKARTA - The instant messaging application WhatsApp has announced that a number of older smartphones can no longer use their services starting November 1, 2021, including iPhone.

Through its official website, WhatsApp announced that iPhones using the older iOS operating system, such as iOS 9 and older devices, cannot use the WhatsApp application.

This is because the device is no longer supported by Apple and is no longer using the iOS 9 operating system in the smartphones they released in recent years.

Therefore, iPhone users are advised to check the operating system they are using on their device. If you are using an older model operating system, iPhone users can update.

However, updating the iOS operating system on iPhone phones to the latest version can only be used for iPhone 7 models, and later generations. Meanwhile, iPhone generations before iPhone 7 can no longer update to the latest version.

If you don't know the operating system your iPhone uses, the VOI team has prepared a way to check the iOS version of your iPhone, and how to update it to the latest version.

How to Check iOS on iPhone

To find out which version of iOS your iPhone is running, users can open the "Settings" menu, then click the "General" setting option.

Next, select the "About" option to find out which version of iOS your iPhone is using. In the next window, information on the software version that the iPhone is running will appear.

Update iOS to Latest Version

After knowing the iOS used by your iPhone, the user can find out if the phone is using an old version of iOS, cannot use the WhatsApp application, or is already using the latest version of iOS.

However, before updating, make sure that your device has enough power and memory capacity. Also, make sure your internet connection is stable so that the download and installation process can run smoothly.

The way to update the iPhone to the latest version of iOS can be done by opening the "Settings" menu or settings. Then click the "Software Update" menu.

After selecting the menu, the latest iOS version will appear available and can be used by your device. Then click download and install, and wait until the download and installation process is complete.

That's how to check the iOS version on your iPhone and also how to update it. You can update to the latest version so you can still use the WhatsApp application after November 1, 2021.
