Updating iOS to Meet Requirements
If your iOS version is too old:
- Connect to Wi-Fi
- Plug in charger (or have 50%+ battery)
- Go to Settings → General → Software Update
- If update available, tap Download and Install
- Wait for download and installation
- Device restarts with new iOS
If No Update Available
Your device may have reached its maximum iOS version. Apple stops supporting older devices after several years. In this case:
- Use 1xBet mobile website instead
- Consider upgrading to a newer device
Storage Space Tips
Not enough storage? Here's how to free up space:
Quick Ways to Free Space
- Delete unused apps: Settings → General → iPhone Storage → tap app → Delete
- Clear Safari cache: Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data
- Remove old messages: Settings → Messages → Keep Messages → 1 Year or 30 Days
- Offload unused apps: Settings → General → iPhone Storage → Enable Offload Unused Apps
- Delete old photos/videos: Move to iCloud or delete duplicates
- Clear app caches: Delete and reinstall apps with large cache
Checking App Sizes

Frequently Asked Questions
My iPhone says "This app requires iOS 12" — what does this mean?
Your current iOS version is older than 12.0. Go to Settings → General → Software Update to update. If no update is available, your device is too old and has reached its maximum iOS version.
Can I use the app on iPod Touch?
Yes, if it's iPod Touch 7th generation running iOS 12 or later. Older iPod Touch models are not supported.
Will the app slow down my phone?
On newer devices (iPhone 8 and up), no noticeable impact. On older devices, you may notice slight slowdown when the app is running, especially during live streaming.
How much storage does the app actually use?
Initial installation is about 150 MB. Over time, cache can grow to 200-400 MB. You can clear cache in Settings → General → iPhone Storage → 1xBet.
Do I need always-on internet?
Yes, for betting. The app requires internet to place bets, check odds, and manage account. Offline mode doesn't exist for betting apps.
My device meets requirements but app won't install — why?
Check if the app is available in your region's App Store. Also verify you have enough free storage (need 200+ MB, not just 150 MB, for installation buffer).
