This guide addresses issues that may arise when using Infomaniak applications (such as kChat, kDrive, kAuth, etc.) or tools (such as config.infomaniak.com, the Manager Infomaniak, etc.) with outdated hardware (OS, browser, devices, etc.) old / not up to date / obsolete. For example, it will not be possible to comfortably access Infomaniak services with an iPhone 5s or 6 on iOS 12.

Technologies used by Infomaniak

Many web tools developed by Infomaniak use Angular. The need for up-to-date or recent hardware to run applications is not specific to Angular itself but rather a general requirement for running any modern web application. Here are a few reasons why up-to-date hardware is often necessary:

1. Angular relies on advanced features of modern browsers, which are often missing or poorly handled in older versions.
2. Recent browsers optimize JavaScript execution and graphical rendering, which improves the smoothness of Angular applications.
3. Up-to-date versions fix known vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of compromise.
4. Modern browsers are more compliant with the latest HTML, CSS, and JavaScript specifications, ensuring better compatibility.
5. Modern APIs (camera, geolocation, notifications, etc.) are only accessible via recent browsers, which are essential for interactive experiences.
