Zwift will no longer run on Apple devices with older operating systems, the indoor training company announced today.

As of 4 August 2026, Zwift will stop working on any Apple devices running iOS 14 or tvOS 14. These are operating systems first released in September 2020 that have now become unsupported on many devices.

“The Zwift game app will no longer function on deprecated operating systems.”

“Many existing devices running older operating systems can upgrade their OS without needing to replace the device. Upgrading your OS will ensure your device is best equipped to run Zwift’s 3D game graphics and utilize new feature sets.”

Affected Zwift users will see an in-game message that reads: “You’re running a version of iOS which will be unsupported by Zwift beginning 2026/08/04. Please upgrade to iOS 15.0 or later.”

iOS 15, the necessary minimum software, is available on all iPhone models that succeeded the iPhone 6s, which was released in 2015. If your device is older than this, you may need to switch to a compatible device: a full list of supported devices for the game app is available on Zwift’s website. There is a different list for companion app supported devices.
