Microsoft OneDrive will soon drop support for iOS and iPadOS 18
Microsoft has warned in the release notes for OneDrive 18.11.2 that it plans to end support for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 soon. The company recommends moving to iOS or iPadOS 26 or 27 to keep receiving the latest versions of the app.
The biggest impact will be on hardware that cannot install iOS/iPadOS 26. Apple's compatibility lists start with the iPhone 11 and the 8th-generation iPad, leaving the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and 7th-generation iPad on the older operating system. Newer devices that are still on iOS 18 can avoid the issue by installing a supported newer system version.
The change has not taken effect yet: the current public OneDrive listing still names iOS 18.0 and iPadOS 18.0 as the minimum requirements, and Microsoft has not provided an exact cutoff date. Once the minimum requirement increases, an existing installation is unlikely to stop working immediately, but affected devices will no longer receive new features, bug fixes or app security updates. Users of older hardware should therefore confirm that important files are fully synced and plan how they will access their data from a supported device.
Context and what to check
Changes involving the App Store or individual apps can affect pricing, subscriptions, feature availability and device compatibility. It is therefore worth checking the exact app version, your Apple-account region and the final Apple purchase screen before buying or redeeming an offer.
AppDrop does not control App Store pricing or developer terms. The article provides a concise overview and context, while the original source remains the place for complete technical details and the latest conditions.
This story does not mean that every mentioned feature or release is available on every device and in every region at the same time. Before acting on it, check the official release notes, App Store listing or Apple Support document linked as the source, especially when the change affects compatibility, pricing or data on your device.
