David, thanks for what I suspected. Yes, auto updates are turned off.
I'll eventually commit the many tangible buttons on instapot to memory.
Further, I have no reason for updating IO on Iphone 7. I had originally
planned to hand in a couple of retired Iphones to Apple for whatever
bucks I could nab but just never got to it, then I learned just in time
about Instapot. I had already properly wiped my Iphone 7 which had only
16 GB. My 8 has 32GB and managed to get the larger backup sufficiently
restored on 8 to include Instapot. I don't care about the rest of the
apps since 7 if only to be used for instapot.
And don't get me started on the moral bankruptcy of appliance
manufacturers. Example, a talking microwave need not cost anywhere near
$300 but that isn't for this list.

Hi Doug,
An iPhone 7 can run IOS 14.x so if you attempt to upgrade it, IOS 14.5.1 would
get installed. IOS only upgrades to the latest version. If support for your
Instapot was broken in IOS 14 and you want/need to use the Instapot app, then
don't upgrade.
I have read about the problem with Instapot dropping support for the bluetooth
version of the Instapot. Is this what you are running into or is there a
separate problem with the app for Instapot? I have heard that the WIFI model
Instapot is working OK but that does not help all those who bought the
bluetooth model and the WIFI model is more expensive.
One last thought - I'm sure you've done this but make sure you have "automatic
updates" turned off on your iPhone 7 to prevent the upgrade to IOS 14.5.1.

I am currently using an Iphone 8 and will likely update to the most recent IO
14.5.1. I also have a retired Iphone 7 and I'm hoping that, if i attempt to
upgrade, it will NOT upgrade to the latest IO; I have the smart cooker app for
the instapot and i know instapot are too morally bankrupt to continue
supporting blind customers with their accessible app. So, what will happen if
I attempt to upgrade my Iphone 7? Will it simply reject the most recent update
or install a previous update it can handle and that will still allow instapot
to work?
