They have been warning customers all year that you will need a newer phone. I think iPhone 7 or newer to receive whatsapp. Not sure about android phones.

Android 5.1 is from 2014!
Android 11 is current on my phone. Time to upgrade perhaps. Treat yourself, a good phone with plenty of memory is essential these days.

you will have to upgrade as whatsapp isn’t supporting older software.
