The Minnesota WIC App can be used to easily and instantly check if a food item is WIC-allowed and find WIC-allowed stores nearby. It can also be used by registered WIC households to check benefit balances and receive reminder messages for scheduled and missed appointments. It is currently available for iPhone iOS 16.0 and higher, and Android version 6.0 and up, and can be downloaded from the App Store and Google play.
Older iPhones
iPhones 7 (released in 2016) and older will not be able to use the Minnesota WIC App. If users have the older version of the app (the My MN WIC App) on an older phone, they will receive a message stating "The app must be updated before further use" when they try to use it, and they will not be able to download the modernized Minnesota WIC App (available February 2025).
These phones cannot use or download the Minnesota WIC App because they cannot be updated to iOS version 16.0. Apple no longer supports older iOS versions and requires that all apps are only available for iOS version 16.0 or higher.
As of June 2023, which was when MN WIC surveyed all WIC participants to determine the types of phones and models participants use, of the 7,424 responses we received, only 1.5% of the participants surveyed indicated their iPhones were older than 7.
