iOS 11: how to find out which apps will die with Apple's next major update

Older apps are going to stop working once Apple turns off support for 32-bit applications, but a menu item in iOS tells users how affected they are

Apple has released a new tool to help highlight apps that will be rendered obsolete by the next major update to its iOS operating system. The tool shipped to iPhone and iPad users with the latest update, to iOS 10.3.

Any app that hasn't been updated since 2015 is likely to be rendered obsolete when iOS 11 ships in about six months' time, a consequence of a decision by Apple to remove support for apps which don't run natively in 64-bit mode.
