Portia's mobile app will work on iOS and Android devices that are supported by their manufacturer.
What does this mean?
Older devices, which are no longer supported by Apple (iOS) or Android (i.e., Samsung), no longer have the technological capability to handle the newer software.
Once this occurs, the device can no longer support the mobile app and although parts of the app may function fine, if one continues to use an unsupported device, the mobile app may struggle to run modern applications efficiently.
Performance will eventually degrade as more recent updates to the mobile apps are released this will lead to crashes, slow load times, and overall frustration as well as security risks.
Note: some devices will have a two year life span (from manufactured date), and some may have 5 years. This is dependant on the technology in the device AND the software used in the operating system.
