How to perform an iOS update
Shift closed and all devices on the same iOS
- Please make sure that your shift is closed before you start the update.
- Download the update to all your Apple devices so that you can continue using swarm mode smoothly.
- If you are working with multiple devices, check for each device which "software version" (iOS) you are currently working with. To do this, go to "Settings" > "General" > "About" on your Apple device.
- Please update to iOS version 15 or 16. You can find out how to do this here: Update iOS on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Can't update to iOS 15 or later?
If you can't update your Apple device, it's probably due to outdated hardware. Therefore, we recommend that you upgrade to a new iPad or iPod today. Get an overview of the compatible iPod and iPad models here: Which Apple devices and iOS versions are compatible with orderbird PRO?
What happens if I do not perform an iOS update?
Card payments with orderbird will only work on devices with at least iOS 15 as of June 2023.
Updates for your orderbird PRO app will only be made available for Apple devices with iOS 15 or later. Functions in the app may be restricted on older iOS versions if there is unwanted behavior in the app due to increased compatibility issues.
Why does the iOS need to be updated?
Running on outdated iOS versions (=operating system on your Apple device) frequently leads to compatibility issues with orderbird PRO and increased errors, such as synchronization problems. In order avoiding transaction cancellations when paying by card with orderbird PRO, future versions of the orderbird PRO app and orderbird card payment will only be supported from iOS 15 or higher from 01.07.23 onwards. It is best to keep your POS system up to date by installing provided updates.
