In 2013, app developers were overjoyed by the ability to create 64-bit apps, not just 32-bit ones. With the release of iOS 9, Apple began to warn users that 32-bit apps could slow down their device. It has now become apparent that iOS 11 will not support 32-bit apps which means some of the apps on your device (even ones you like) may become obsolete.
In this case, you may want to know which apps will be affected so you can plan ahead. Even if there isn’t much you can do, it would be worth knowing which apps will not work before you update to iOS 11.
How to Check to See Which Apps Won't Work with iOS 11
If you want to know which apps will not be functional when you update to iOS 11, follow these simple steps.
Step 1: Launch the Settings App on your device.
Step 2: Tap “About”.
Step 3: Tap “Applications” and you should see a list of apps that can’t be updated.
These apps can’t be updated and hence will not be usable after you update your iOS. Sadly, there is nothing you can do about it, other than hope the application’s developer will update the app.
