If your device cannot be updated to a supported operating system version, it will no longer be compatible with the latest version of the Pandora app.
Please note: In some cases, Pandora may continue to function on an unsupported device or operating system. However, continued functionality is not guaranteed. Future updates to Pandora or related services may impact functionality on unsupported devices.
Public iOS, iPadOS & watchOS Beta Software
Pandora does not officially support public beta versions of iOS, iPadOS, or watchOS.
While Pandora may work as expected on beta software, beta releases can introduce instability, unexpected behavior, or compatibility issues that are outside of Pandora's control.
