Upgrading to iOS 17 will require you to re-enable Itsme on some iPhone models. Double-check if this is the case for you to avoid future problems.

Since September 19th, all compatible iPhone models have systematically received the latest iOS 17 update from Apple. Version 17 offers many improvements, according to Datanews, but also results in Itsme being disabled for some users.

We at the editorial team cannot reproduce the problem, but the problem was already present for some users in the beta version of iOS 17.

Itsme is aware of the problem, but apparently can do little about it. Affected users will receive a notification above that their account has been disabled by upgrading to iOS 17.

Luckily, you can easily follow the steps below to reactivate your account. This can be done by linking to various banking apps or via eID using your ID card reader and a computer.

For those who don’t use Itsme regularly, it’s worth opening the app quickly after upgrading. In the future, it could be that you suddenly need Itsme quickly, but the app no ​​longer works since the iOS 17 update. Once you reactivate your account, you’re done.
