How toh use phonepay in iPhone X

If you are talking about making or receiving UPI payments on an iPhone X, you don't.

• The people who set the rules for UPI decided that UPI payment apps must require iOS 17 or higher.
• The iPhone X, which originally ran iOS 11.0.1, cannot run iOS 17 or higher.
• Q.E.D., to make or receive UPI payments on an iPhone, you will need to get a newer iPhone.

If you are talking about the PhonePe app, the app itself only requires iOS 14, but you cannot use it for UPI unless you are running iOS 17 or higher. Presumably this app offers both UPI functions (which require iOS 17 or higher – as per UPI system rules) and non-UPI functions (for which such restrictions might not exist).

You are not speaking to Apple here.

Apple does not have to "to send request for Upi guildlines to work Upi apps on iOS 16.7.10". If you want to send a request to NPCI (National Payment Corporations of India), send it yourself.

Apple also doesn't have to "give ios 17 iPhone 8 series and iPhone X." For those iPhones, iOS 16 is the end of the line, and this will not change just because NPCI has abandoned iOS 16 users.

The error message shown in that thread is pretty clear. (Emphasis mine)

"Unable to Proceed

As per UPI guidelines, your iOS version should be 17.0 or higher to continue using UPI …"

With some apps that only handle UPI payments, the app developer might set the minimum iOS version to 17.0 – and then you would be unable to even download the latest version of the app to an older phone. Either way, it is UPI guidelines that are locking out iPhones that cannot update as far as iOS 17.

I need your help 🙏

There is no way anyone here can answer that. We don't define the requirements for UPI apps. Neither does Apple.

The iPhone 8 Plus cannot run iOS 17 or higher. Since NCPI apparently no longer allows UPI apps to run on any version of iOS before iOS 17, that means no UPI apps for the iPhone 8 Plus.

And that was a decision made by UPI.....not Apple.

If a 3rd party developer has chosen not to support an older version of iOS, there is nothing Apple can do about it.

you should get another UPI application

That.....does not exist.

All UPI apps require iOS 17 or higher to work, your suggestion makes no sense.

My iPhone 8 Plus UPI apps not working update in ios 17 how is solved

UPI apps may not work on your iPhone X if the device's region settings are incorrect or if the apps aren't updated to support your device. Check and set the region to India in Settings > General > Language & Region, and update the apps to their latest versions.

apple teams please do something fast for iPhone x upi problem launch update fast please I request and all who have this phone need too

You ARE NOT writing Apple here. This is a user to user only forum. Who you should be writing is your banking institution. Apple had NOTHING to do with their decision to not support phones which aren't capable of running iOS 17. Apple doesn't own them or have any control over which iOS versions they are willing to support. Complain to them. There is NOTHING Apple can do to help you. If you are hoping Apple will magically permit iPhones which can't run iOS 17 to be able to update to that version, it's simply NOT going to happen. Phones which can't support iOS 17 can't because they lack the hardware required to be updated that high.

There is nothing for Apple to do.

UPI is not owned or controlled by Apple.

UPI made the decision to not support older versions of iOS.

Also, this is a user to user support forum.

Apple is not here and doesn’t read or respond to any posts here, especially when it has nothing to do with them.

Stop wasting your time posting here and go bother UPI about their decision to stop providing you service.

My iPhone X not support upi app

UPI apps no longer support the iPhone X. It appears that NPCI mandated that all UPI payment apps require iOS 17 or higher – perhaps because they wanted to take advantage of a new feature that would help them crack down on UPI payment fraud – so much that they were willing to cut off service to people with older phones.

You cannot update an iPhone X to iOS 17. If you want to continue to use UPI payment apps, you will need a newer phone.
