My banking app on my telephone only is showing a box with the following (“WARNING” Sorry, but you must upgrade to the latest version of the app of before continuing. You can visit iTunes App Store to download the latest version of this app” scam?

Is it safe to press on ok for the following? My phone and tablet are both apple products.

My banking app (on my iPhone only not my tablet) comes up with this statement box “WARNING” Sorry, but you must upgrade to the latest version of the app before continuing. You can visit the iTunes App Store to download the latest version of this app.

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Perhaps avoid confusion by contacting your Bank directly.

Their customer service may/not be helpful; but should be.


The bank may have afforded a newer better secure App.


An online prompt may be phishing for your information.

[You should verify which version iOS your iPhone runs.]


Maybe yours is older phone; is a newer iOS available?


This would generate a real notification & no phishing.

Outdated phones won't have newer App store updates.
