This article covers the compatibility of Focusrite products on iOS and iPadOS versions. Select your version below to see details. Information can be found for both Lightning and USB-C devices.
Please check that all other software and hardware you use to make music is also compatible before updating; never update your operating system during the middle of a time-critical project. Based on past experience, we would generally advise waiting for a few months after the release of any new operating system before updating, in case there are any initial issues that need to be patched.
This article concerns Focusrite hardware compatibility with iOS and iPadOS. For Focusrite Control 2 mobile app compatibility with your smartphone or tablet, see the app page on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
