All anticovid is not compatible with too old smartphones.Like Stopcovid, the first version of the Contact Tracing application, all anticovid will simply not work on the phones that run on old versions of Android or iOS.We take stock of the limitations.
After the bitter fiascovid fiascovid, allanticavid finally arouses the adhesion of the French population.In just a few days, the monitoring application against the COVVI-19 has more than 4 million downloads.Ultimately, around 8% of the population installed the application on its smartphone.
As our colleagues from Nice morning report, all anticovid is not compatible with all smartphones in circulation.Thus, several testimonies claim that the application proposed by the government does not work on the oldest devices.“The new version of Stop Covid is still not downloadable on the iPhone 5C of my wife and myself, any more than it is on the smartphones of number of our knowledge, because their software ofexploitation does not allow it ”testifies Patrick Dorel, reader of Nice morning.

All anticovid is incompatible with smartphones under iOS 10 or Android Ice Cream Sandwich
In fact, smartphones that run under certain previous versions of Android and iOS "do not have the Bluetooth technology necessary for the proper functioning of the application", explains an expert interviewed by the media.On the page Tousanticvid de l'App Store, we can read that the application is compatible with iPhone under iOS 11.4, or a later version.Ultimately, the iPhone released before the iPhone 5S are not compatible with the Contact Tracing application.This is the case of iPhone 5C, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S or iPhone 4.This restriction therefore only concerns the iPhone launched before 2012.
On the Android side, all anticovid will only work with smartphones equipped with Android Lollipop 5.0 or a later version.Devices stuck Android Ice Cream Sandwich are deprived of the application.Only devices more than 5 years old are affected.Indeed, Android Lollilop was deployed in a stable version in 2014.
"In short, if you do not have one of the last smartphones, you are deprived of the application which would certainly be the most useful currently" regrets Patrick Dorel.Nevertheless, we will notice that all anticovid is well compatible with the overwhelming majority of mobile phones in circulation.
