Twitter no longer works on iPhone 6 and 6 Plus after its last update, as confirmed by some users who still regularly use one of these two smartphones. The new version of the application available on the App Store now requires a device with iOS 14 or higher to work, while the aforementioned models can only receive iOS 13.6.1.
It’s unclear why Twitter stopped supporting the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. However, this is probably due to the low number of users still using these models. In fact, according to Apple data, only 7% of iPhone users have a device with iOS 13. Twitter also stopped supporting its app on iOS 12 and earlier last year due to low user numbers with that version.
The latest version of Twitter is also likely to have features not supported in iOS 13. Always and according to Apple Insider, the Cupertino company allows developers to adapt their applications to older operating systems. This is precisely something Twitter has done so far.
Users who have an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus and try to access Twitter through the app can still navigate the interface or access their profiles, but tweets are not displayed and some of the main functions are inspiring. On the other hand, users of an iPhone 6s or above with iOS 13 can update the system to a newer version to avoid losing support.
Twitter No Longer Works on iPhone 6, what about the iPhone 6s?
iPhone 6, a model in which Twitter is no longer supported, was launched in 2014 to refresh the iPhone 5s. It also came with a Plus model, being the first time the company has announced two versions of the same smartphone. These differed primarily in screen size.
The iPhone 6 featured a 4.7-inch screen, while the iPhone 6 Plus had a 5.5-inch screen. In both cases, with HD resolution and a pixel density adapted to the size of the panel.
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus also came with a new look, betting on more rounded corners and macros and a front where the glass was slightly curved. Months later, Apple renewed them for the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, models that have stood out for the arrival of 3D Touch, a more powerful processor, and improvements in the photographic section. Fortunately, these last two models can be updated to iOS 15 or receive iOS 14 security updates. Therefore, Twitter can function normally.
