Compatible devices
Hardware and operating systems Foxar supports (iPhone, iPad, web, Android).
Apple devices (iOS, iPadOS, visionOS)
The Foxar app is compatible with devices running iOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.4 or visionOS 27, or later, including:
iPhones starting from iPhone 11
iPads starting from iPad 8 (2020), iPad Air 3 and iPad mini 5 (2019), and iPad Pro (2018)
All Vision Pro devices
On older devices, you can use the web version of Foxar below.
Augmented reality
Every compatible device can display models in 3D. Augmented reality asks a great deal more of a device: it runs the camera, tracks the room and renders the model into it, all at once and continuously. Three cases exist.
Augmented reality runs normally
Recent iPhones and iPads, and every iPad with an M-series chip. Nothing to do.
Augmented reality runs, but the image may stutter
Devices with less memory or an older chip. The model appears and everything works, but the image is less fluid and the device warms up. The app tells you once, and you can carry on.
Viewing in 3D is smoother on these devices, and loses nothing of the lesson: the model is the same, only the room behind it is missing.
Augmented reality is not available
iPad (8th generation)
iPad Air (3rd generation)
iPad mini (5th generation)
On these iPads, augmented reality stutters enough to get in the way of the lesson, so the app offers 3D instead. The button remains visible and explains why when you tap it.
These are also the iPads that Apple will not update to iPadOS 27.
Web and Android
For computers, tablets, smartphones, interactive whiteboards, and any other device, use the web version of Foxar. No install required, see the browser versions below.
Web browsers
The web version needs a browser released from 2023 onwards. Older versions load the page, but the colors and the 3D view are wrong.

|---|---|
| Chrome | 111 |
| Edge | 111 |
| Safari | 16.4 (iOS 16.4, macOS 13.3) |
| Firefox | 128 |
On iPhone and iPad, Safari is updated with iOS: install the latest iOS available for your device.
