Which phones can run the MitID app?
Technical requirements for the MitID app.
Short answer
As of November 2026, the MitID app needs at least an iPhone 6S with iOS 15 or newer, or an iPad Air 2 or iPad Mini 4 with iPadOS 15 or newer. On Android, versions 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 are supported with the latest version of Google Chrome. The app cannot be used on a jailbroken or rooted phone or with a beta version of iOS or Android. It can only be installed on devices that can guarantee the required level of security.
Why
- The app only runs on devices that guarantee the required security.
- Old or modified phones cannot guarantee the security level.
- Android phones also need the latest Google Chrome.
Details
If your phone cannot run the app, you can use a MitID code display instead.
Tip
Check the minimum versions before you buy a used phone or set up an old spare phone for MitID.
What may differ
The minimum versions can change, so check the technical requirements again when you change phone.
Common misconception
The MitID app works on any smartphone.
What actually happens
It needs a supported iOS, iPadOS or Android version and cannot run on jailbroken, rooted or beta systems.
