As technology evolves, so must the tools we rely on. To ensure optimal performance and security, LetsVPN is raising the minimum supported OS versions for its Android and iOS applications. Starting with the upcoming update, LetsVPN will support Android 5 and above, as well as iOS 12 and above, replacing the previous Android 4.x and iOS 11 compatibility.
Why the Change?
1. Enhanced Performance and Stability
Newer OS versions offer improved performance and more robust security features. By updating the minimum OS requirements, LetsVPN can leverage these advancements to provide a smoother and more secure VPN experience. Older systems may lack the necessary resources to run the latest VPN protocols efficiently, which could compromise both speed and reliability.
2. Increased Security
Security is a cornerstone of VPN services. Older operating systems are more vulnerable to security threats due to outdated or unsupported frameworks. By focusing on more recent OS versions, LetsVPN ensures that users benefit from the latest security patches and encryption standards, reducing the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access.
3. Resource Optimization
Supporting outdated OS versions requires significant resources that could be better utilized in developing and enhancing features for the majority of users on more current systems. By narrowing the focus to Android 5 and iOS 12 and above, LetsVPN can streamline its development process, allowing the team to introduce new features more efficiently and maintain a high standard of service.
Impact on Users
1. Users on Older Devices
For users still on Android 4.x or iOS 11, this change may pose challenges. These users will need to upgrade their operating systems or consider updating their devices to continue using LetsVPN without interruption. We understand that this may be inconvenient, but it is a necessary step to ensure the safety and quality of our service.
2. A Difficult but Necessary Decision
The decision to raise the OS requirements was not made lightly. However, prioritizing user security and experience necessitates this update. We believe that this move will ultimately benefit all users by providing a more secure and efficient VPN experience.
3. Multiple Communication Channels
To ensure that all users are aware of this change, LetsVPN will notify users through multiple channels:
- In-App Notifications: Users will receive alerts directly within the LetsVPN app, guiding them to check if their device meets the new OS requirements.
- Customer Support: Users can reach out via the in-app customer support system for assistance with any questions or concerns related to the OS update.
- Email Notifications: Users who have previously communicated with LetsVPN via email will receive detailed instructions and information about the update.
