Still using Zoom? It is going to stop working on some iPhones soon

Zoom announced discontinuation of support for iOS 11 and 12 starting next month.

In Short

• Zoom discontinues support for older iOS versions

• Users must upgrade to iOS 13 or higher to receive future Zoom updates.

• The latest Zoom update introduces All Screens Mode and other notable features.

In a recent announcement, Zoom has revealed its decision to discontinue support for older versions of iOS, namely iOS 11 and iOS 12. This change will take effect starting next month, as stated in the release notes for the latest update to Zoom for iPhone.”This is the last planned release to support iOS versions 11 and 12. With next month’s planned release, iOS users will need to upgrade to iOS 13 or higher to continue to receive additional Zoom app updates,” Zoom said in its support page.

Users are informed that in order to continue receiving Zoom updates, they must upgrade their devices to iOS 13 or higher. The company emphasized this point in its release notes, indicating that the upcoming release will mark the end of support for iOS 11 and 12.

The decision to drop support for these older iOS versions may not be surprising to many, considering that iOS 11 was introduced in 2017 and iOS 12 followed in 2018. With the rapid pace of technological advancements, it's becoming increasingly common for companies to phase out support for older operating systems.

For individuals still using devices running on iOS 11 or 12, it's now imperative to contemplate upgrading to a supported version of iOS. Failure to do so could result in the inability to access future Zoom updates and features.

Zoom has advised users to refer to the full release notes for today's Zoom for iOS update on the company's website for further details. This move by Zoom underscores the importance of staying current with software updates to ensure optimal functionality and security.
