Twitter Stops Working on iPhones

Twitter suddenly stopped working on older iPhones after the social media app updated its system requirements.

Reports revealed that users need to have a device capable of running iOS 14 or later to keep going.

Anyone who uses an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus – or any iPhone before it – will be forced to upgrade if they want to keep tweeting.

In 2016, Apple itself discontinued the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. However, many people are still holding onto phones for longer it’s quite conceivable that many people still use the phone as their main device.

Some users noted that, while they can still see a few tweets on their timeline, every other part of the app is failing to operate.

If you are using an iPhone running iOS 13 – like the iPhone 6S onwards – you can still update to iOS 15 (the latest version) and continue to run Twitter as normal.

For those who use iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 and are stuck on iOS 12, the only workaround is to use the platform through its website.
