From 1st May 2025, Discourse’s minimum supported iOS version will be updated from 15.7 to 16.7. After that, visitors using older versions of iOS will be shown a basic-html version of community content, and won’t be able to login or interact with the site.

Devices limited to iOS 15 are the iPhone 6s, iPhone SE (gen 1), iPhone 7, and iPad Mini 4. These were all released more than 9 years ago, and are no longer updated by Apple (see iosref.com). Unfortunately, it will not be possible to use Discourse on those devices going forwards.

For more recent devices, iOS should be updated to iOS 16.7 or higher.

From today, we’ll be rolling out a warning banner for affected users, with a link to this topic.

On the technical side, dropping support for older iOS versions will allow us to start using modern web technologies including relative color syntax, subgrid, and lookbehind regex, all of which will enable improved experiences for Discourse users.
