WhatsApp it no longer works on these phone models at the moment, the messaging application being blocked by the American company because it no longer wants to support the operation on them. More precisely, all iPhones still running iOS 8 will no longer be able to log into the WhatsApp application if they delete it from their phones, the American company imposing this limitation for all users who use the platform globally.
WhatsApp can still be used in iOS 8 until February 1, 2020, but as long as users do not delete it from their phones, or do not log out of it, re-login being impossible, as I told you above. WhatsApp's decision to abandon iOS 8 support is because this version of the operating system is very old, it is 5 years old, so it is not used by as many iPhone users at the moment.
CAREFUL! WhatsApp NO LONGER WORKS on These Phone Models
WhatsApp will still stop working on iPhones that are still running iOS 8, no matter how many there are, and users are obliged to update or even upgrade to continue using the platform. We are talking about either an update to a higher version of iOS, if possible, or an upgrade to a new iPhone, and all so that WhatsApp can continue to be used by the respective users.
No support for iOS 8!
You can still use WhatsApp on iOS 8, but if you reinstall the app, you will no longer be able to verify your account.
The iOS 8 compatibility will be fully removed in February 1, 2020.

WhatsApp has over time been disabled by a multitude of operating systems and phones, and WIndows Phone will remain without access from December 31, which has been announced for some time. Moreover, even for some versions of Android, access to the WhatsApp platform will be blocked, so all the phones that run them will have to go through an update, or maybe even an upgrade.
WhatsApp is the most used messaging platform on the planet at the moment, and next year other versions of iOS and Android will be blocked by Americans in their platform.
