How to Download the Apple Support App
In order to download and use the Apple Support app, you'll have to be using an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, and the device will need to be running iOS 13.1 or later. If your device is broken to the point of being unusable, you'll have better luck visiting the Apple Support webpage.
Assuming you can still use one of the above devices, follow the steps below. For more great ways to keep your Apple devices running smoothly, check out our Tip of the Day!

And you're in! The app will automatically have information on every device and Apple service registered with your Apple ID, such as if you have an Apple One subscription. Below that, you'll find generic Apple device and services listed, in case you're asking for a friend or looking for info on a device not registered with your Apple ID. You can also look into the full gamut of Apple customer service offerings if you need more options.
