Zoom was a widely used platform during the epidemic, but in more recent times, its significance has decreased. To guarantee continuous access to the platform, Zoom has informed this week that it would stop supporting a few iPhone models running particular iOS versions. Users are advised to update their software or move to a newer iPhone model.

Specifics of the Declaration:

Zoom has informed users of iPhones running earlier iOS versions that support would be ending in March in an update shared with customers. More specifically, the video conferencing software will no longer work with iPhones running iOS 11 and iOS 12. It is recommended that users update to iOS 13 or later in order to maintain access to Zoom’s most recent security features and standards.

Justification for the Decision:

Since both iOS 11 and iOS 12 are more than five years old, the decision to discontinue support for iPhones running those versions is based on their age. Zoom is unable to maintain certain versions going forward because to Apple’s discontinuation of updates for them. Therefore, in order to guarantee continuous access to Zoom, customers still using iOS 11 or 12 are advised to update their software as soon as possible. Users are strongly advised to update to a newer version of iOS as soon as possible if they are still using iPhones running iOS 11 or 12. If they don’t, they could not be able to use Zoom on their smartphone after the March 2024 update, which is set to launch in the days ahead.

In order to guarantee continuous access to the platform, customers are recommended to take preemptive measures as Zoom gets ready to stop supporting older iPhone devices running iOS 11 and 12. Users may take advantage of Zoom’s most recent security features and standards by updating to iOS 13 or above, which will enhance their video conference experience.
