The new Tapestry app is almost here! This companion to the refreshed Tapestry look we launched in September 2025 is designed to make your experience more consistent, intuitive, and enjoyable—whether you’re on a phone, tablet, or computer.
Our new app not only mirrors the look and feel of the browser version, creating a seamless experience across all your devices, but it also opens the door to exciting new features that will make Tapestry an even more valuable tool for you.
With a new app comes updated minimum device and operating system requirements. To run the new Tapestry app, your device needs to meet the following:
- iOS: 15.6 or higher
- Android: 8 or higher
- Amazon Fire: 7 or higher (please see note in the next section)
Important: Devices that do not meet these minimum requirements may still let you log in to Tapestry via a browser, but you will not be able to use it. This means that without meeting these requirements, you won’t be able to use Tapestry effectively on your device, regardless of whether you wish to use the app or stick with the browser version.
What do the minimum requirements for the new Tapestry app mean for you?
If your device is already running on either of the above operating systems, you are good to go!
However, if you are running on:
- iOS 13–15.5: You’ll need to update to iOS 15 or higher to keep using Tapestry.
- iOS 12 or below (or if your device can’t update): You’ll need a newer device.
- Android 7 or below: You’ll need to update to Android 8 or higher—or consider a newer device if updates aren’t available.
- Amazon Fire on OS 7:
- Devices running OS 7 on 9th–11th generation hardware can still download the app, but you may notice reduced performance.
- For the best experience, we recommend using OS 8 or higher on 12th generation devices or newer.
We know this can feel frustrating, especially if your current device is still working fine. These changes are necessary because Apple and Google no longer support older operating systems. Without these updates, devices stop receiving essential security fixes, and apps—including Tapestry—cannot guarantee your data stays safe. By aligning with these support limits, we make sure Tapestry remains secure, reliable, and ready for new features.
To make it a bit easier for you in case you find yourself having to source new devices, we’ve put together a list of lower-cost device options.Â
Our goal with this post is to guide you step by step, so you can:
- Check your current operating system
- Check for any available updates
- Determine whether your device is ready for the new app, or if you’ll need to source an alternative
