Microsoft OneDrive to Drop Support for Older iPhone Models

Microsoft has announced that OneDrive will soon drop support for devices running iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. This means that users of the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max, as well as the seventh-generation iPad, will be affected, as these devices cannot be upgraded to iOS 26. Version 18.12.1 of OneDrive will be the last to support these operating system versions, according to the release notes of Microsoft’s latest TestFlight beta.

This decision by Microsoft is part of a broader trend towards modernizing its applications, ensuring they operate on the latest versions of operating systems. For affected users, this means they will not be able to access the latest features and improvements of OneDrive, which could limit their cloud storage experience.

## Why it matters The removal of support for older devices means many users will be forced to consider upgrading their devices if they wish to continue using OneDrive. This could result in additional costs and a tough decision for those not ready to invest in a new device.

## What we know Microsoft has added a notice in the App Store listing indicating that support for iOS and iPadOS 18 will be dropped "soon." It also recommends that users upgrade to iOS 26 or iOS 27 to continue receiving the latest versions of the app.

## What’s still unclear It has not yet been confirmed when this removal of support will take effect in the public version of OneDrive. This uncertainty may cause concern among users who rely on the app for their cloud storage.
