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.

NCPI (National Payment Corporation of India) – the developer of UPI (Unified Payments Interface) – is apparently the one calling the shots.

NCPI – Roles & Responsibilities

"TPAP is responsible to comply with all the requirements prescribed by PSP Bank and NPCI in relation to TPAP’s participation in UPI"

If I'm not mistaken, TPAP stands for Third Party App Provider. NCPI and the Banks say "Jump!", and the UPI app providers say "How high?" Then UPI app providers say "Jump!", and you say "How high?" If you refuse to jump (e.g., you insist on using an iPhone that is too old to update to iOS 17), the result is that you don't get to use UPI.

If you don't like it, complain to NCPI and the Banks.

But not yet whatsapp pay also blocked from iPhone X

A bit of Google searching turned up this: "WhatsApp Pay is available through Indian banks which support UPI."

If that is accurate, that explains why WhatsApp Pay is locking out your iPhone X. NPCI and the banks make the rules for the UPI payment system, and all UPI payment app vendors must follow those rules. If one of the rules says "No payments on any version of iOS lower than iOS 17", then you will not find any app that will allow you to make or receive UPI payments while running a version of iOS lower than 17. Not for long,

Any. app vendor that tried that stunt would find themselves locked out of the UPI payment system in short order. Bankers tend to be funny that way about locking out people who do not follow electronic payment system rules.

If you need to make or receive UPI payments on a phone, and the people who run the UPI system have decided to abandon your iPhone X, the logical consequence is that you must get a phone that they have not abandoned (yet). Either that or forget about making or receiving UPI payments on your phone.

Re: “Can u plz update I need to use PhonePe and googlepay”

You cannot update an iPhone X to iOS 17 or later. If you want to use UPI payment apps, you will need to get a new iPhone.

Iphone X not supporting any UPI.... Any Solution for it..

Ask yourself.....what changed?

Apple changed nothing.

UPI changed. They are no longer supporting iPhone X. UPI could support your iPhone X if they wanted to.

But.....UPI has made the decision to abandon you.

Dear KiltedTim,

What you mean to say is that we should change old devices ok then i took iphone XR who run IOS 17 so next year the software update will stop in iphone XR in 2025 then again UPI will stop working then we were fooled again right. I have a simple question. Please tell me how many years can UPI apps run on iPhone XR?

Sir my iPhone x not supporting upi apps

That would be because UPI has chosen to no longer support your iPhone X.

This is a UPI decision. Contact UPI to complain. Apple did not change anything. UPI did.

Well next year, it's possible UPI may require an iPhone which can run iOS 18. We do know that iPhone XR will be compatible with iOS 18. So you'd be good for at least one year. But after 2025, I would be very surprised if iPhone XR gets any more major updates. We are NOT Apple on this user to user only forum, so we cannot tell you how long. And keep in mind it is NOT Apple who is requiring iOS 17 for UPI. It is the app developer who is requiring iOS 17, which has absolutely nothing to do with Apple. If you want to be prepared for future iOS updates to keep your UPI app running for more years, you should likely be looking at much newer, more modern iPhones.

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.

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

Did you read the other replies to this thread?

UPI made the decision to no longer support iOS 16. Apple had nothing to do with this.

Your issue is with UPI.....not Apple.

It is not expected from a trusted company like Apple. Either they could not know the changes or they are forcing customers to buy new set with higher version. Both are not expected from Apple. I hope they will come out with some solution for the users of iPhone x or lower version. Actually I am unable to use G Pay now and facing acute difficulties. If I need to buy a set now, I shall not go for Apple, that is sure.

You do not seem to understand that the decision was made by UPI. Apple was not involved with this in any way.

The developers at UPI could have very easily chosen to continue to support iOS 16, but instead they chose to abandon support for your phone.

It is UPI that is forcing you to buy a new phone if you want to run their apps.

In my iPhone 8 Plus doesn’t work any Upi apps phonepe or Google pay so, Apple as to send request for Upi guildlines to work Upi apps on ios 16.7.10 otherwise give ios 17 update on iPhone 8 iPhone 8 Plus iPhone X then over problem will solve now iPhone XS and later runs ios 18 then give ios 17 iPhone 8 series and iPhone X I kindly request you.

Thank you

If your application is available in an Android phone but not on App Store, then you should get another UPI application, or putting your card info in your phone through “Wallet” app, tell me if it’s it
