**Task from Product **
[] Drop support for iOS 14
**Additional notes**
- If we historically sent a communication to users about dropping support, we should follow those steps here
- When iOS 17 is released publicly released mid-September we will revive the discussion of dropping support for iOS 15
--------------------
**Reference Section**
It's been a while since we dropped support for an OS version. With iOS 17 coming out, we should try to drop one or two major versions to ease our maintenance load and open up the possibility of using newer features.
