Hi @Claire2478 😊, 

Welcome to the Community Center, and thank you for asking this question here!

Could you give us a bit more context? Why would you need to use the iPhone 16 for Airbnb specifically?

Let us know how we can better help you!

Warm regards🌻,

@Elisa I can’t attach the screen shot to show you. 

but it says on my Airbnb app - please visit the App Store to update and continue. 

when I do that it says it required IOS 16 or later. 

I get a black screen if I press updated and nothing happens. 

so I am unable to use Airbnb app now.

Hi @Claire2478 😊,

Thank you for letting me know!

You need to update your iPhone to iOS 16.

Have you done that in your settings?

What this means is your iphone has to be capable of using software update 16.0 or higher (not that you need an iphone 16).

If you have an older iphone and can't download the most recent software to your phone because it doesn't have enough memory, then you won't be able to use the Airbnb app on your phone.  

You can access Airbnb by using Safari and typing airbnb.com in the search bar, but you won't be able to use the App unless you get a newer phone.
