      How Do I Update the Operating System on My Device?

      This article explains which how to update the Operating System on your device for WorkerSafety Pro to run smoothly.

      This article uses images on iPhone. Please note that for Android, the images will be similar.

      To ensure the best possible performance, security, and access to all features of the WorkerSafety Pro app, it's essential to keep your device's operating system (OS) up to date. WorkerSafety Pro is designed to function seamlessly on the current version of Android, iOS, and Apple Watch OS (watchOS), as well as the two immediately preceding versions.

      Why is this important?

      • Reliability and Performance: Newer operating systems include improvements that help apps run more smoothly and efficiently. When your device has the most recent OS version, it ensures the WorkerSafety Pro app is stable and responsive when you need it most.

      • Security: Regular OS updates contain critical security patches that protect your device from new vulnerabilities. By keeping your OS current, you are safeguarding your personal information and ensuring the app's security features work as intended.

      • Access to New Features: As we continue to innovate and add new features to the WorkerSafety Pro app, these updates are often built to take advantage of the latest OS capabilities. To enjoy the full experience and access all the new tools, your device must be running a supported OS version.

      What does this mean for you?

      For example, if the current version of iOS is iOS 26, the WorkerSafety Pro app will be fully supported on iOS 26, iOS 18, and iOS 17. If you are using an older version, such as iOS 16, WorkerSafety Pro may not perform as reliably.

      The same rule applies to Android devices. If the current version of Android is Android 15, the app will be supported on Android 15, Android 14, and Android 13.
