Testing Complete: iOS Update 17

Update 1/31/2023: 

The WineDirect team has completed testing, and all users (including VivoPay users) can safely update their iOS software to version 17. Minimum requirement: iOS 13 or higher. Check device compatibility before updating. The benefits include enhanced security and optimized performance, opening the door to future product enhancements. We've also updated the WineDirect POS app to address issues related to Bluetooth devices. Here are the recommended steps to update your POS setup:

Recommended Steps

1. Update your iOS to version 17.

• To manually update, go to Settings > General > Software Update.

2. Update your WineDirect POS App

• Important Note: Only update the WineDirect POS App if you are iOS 13 and above*
• To update your WineDirect POS App, open the App Store.
• Tap your profile icon at the top of the screen.
• Scroll to see pending updates and release notes. Tap Update next to the WineDirect POS App.

iOS Version 12 and below

As iOS undergoes regular updates, security concerns persist for older iOS versions. To address this, this and all upcoming releases of the WineDirect POS app will no longer be compatible with devices running iOS versions 12 and below. Learn more about iOS and WineDirect POS compatibility in our documentation.
