What should it be?

[joeb (Joe Billings)]

Oh yeah! It should be iOS 10 as I discovered last night. I was trying to get my mum an account before she goes abroad next week. Turns out her phone’s too old

The current app still supports iOS 9 for existing users but we don’t guarantee any fixes and it could be changed at any time.

iOS 10 and above is required to sign up for a new account.

Does your mum have an iPhone 4 or older?

You need to buy her a new phone!

Hey. No need to be pejorative

I’ve got an iPhone 3 I still use (only as an iPod, these days). It’s like the Morris Minor of smartphones; it just keeps going…

Yeah, she’s got my old 4S and has an “if it ain’t broke” mindset but you’re right, I totally do!

[joeb (Joe Billings)]

Ah, gotcha. Is it possible to put that on there? Would have saved me a few hours last night
