Anyway, there’s no need to panic as this development my not affect you, or your device. Long as you don’t have any 32 bit app on your iPhone or iPad, you lose nothing. If you do, you may as well start uninstalling them this moment.

Here’s how to check for 32 bit apps on your iPhone.

  • Go to your device Settings
  • Click on General
  • Click on About
  • Lastly, click Applications.

A list of 32 bit applications you have installed on your device will appear.

And yes, iPhone or iPad users whose devices aren’t compatible to receive the iOS 11 update should also turn a blind eye to this information.
