Sorry, you cannot. The iPhone 7 is not compatible with iOS 16 or later.
It can only update to iOS 15, of which the most current version is iOS 15.8.8.

The iphone 7 is virtually obsolete because it cannot get beyond iOS 15
It's had a great 10 or 11 year life, time for a new one.

The current version of WhatsApp only requires iOS 15.1 or later. There is nothing to keep WhatsApp from raising that requirement, and dropping support for your iPhone 7, but for now, assuming that you've updated your phone to the latest version of iOS 15, WhatsApp should be compatible with your phone.

If you still have problems with WhatsApp, contact WhatsApp for help with their app.
