> Very old apps don’t work
32-bit apps won’t run on iOS 11. If you’re concerned about downloading an old app that’s still in the store, look out for a gray banner at the top of its page that explains “The developer of this app needs to update it to work with iOS 11.”
If an incompatible app was installed before you upgraded iOS, the same explanatory message will appear in a dialog that includes a Learn More button. Tapping that button takes you to a page in Settings that lists all of the incompatible apps on your device.
That page is accessible at any time by going to Settings > General > About. If there’s no chevron to the right of Applications there, no incompatible apps are installed. This doesn’t check past purchases that aren’t installed.
