WA Classic
WhatsApp is back on iOS 6.
And iOS 5. And iOS 4.
Coming November 1, 2026.
iOS 7 to 10 coming soon.
Just like 2012.
Green bubbles, the doodle wallpaper, the glossy bars. WA Classic looks and feels like WhatsApp 2.10, the version that came with iOS 6. But it talks to today's WhatsApp, so all your chats and groups are there.
