ICT actively encourages users to regularly update devices for a number of reasons …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. Security patches and updates<\/li>\n
    2. Device health<\/li>\n
    3. Compatibility with applications and services<\/li>\n
    4. Latest features and functionality<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      All of the reasons are important, but in a world where we now work on the basis of “zero trust”, security is of paramount importance.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Suppliers and software application work on a similar basis of “trust no-one” and “keep the device up to date”.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Many applications will only work on a limited subset of previous versions.\u00a0 Most of the major software companies, including Microsoft, work on the basis of supporting apps to run on the current and one or two previous versions.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      On 1st March 2023, Microsoft Teams will only work on iOS 15 and higher.\u00a0 This ensures security and functionality stay “in step” and provides the best experience to you.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      If you use Microsoft Teams on any iOS device that has a version of 14 or lower then you should be updating the operating system to the latest version possible for your device so that you can continue to work.\u00a0 This will also ensure that you have the latest security patches and updates and are not putting yourself or others at undue risk.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Updating your device is simple and easy.\u00a0 Head to the device settings and under General look for Software Update.\u00a0 Ideally you should turn on automatic updates.\u00a0 Update your device or upgrade to the latest iOS 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
