  • WKWebView has been around since iOS 8. UIWebView was deprecated in iOS 12. Certainly if you are actively putting out updates to an app you really should switch from UIWebView to WKWebView. If you are asking about an old app that hasn't been updated in a while then it should continue to work. But in some future iOS update it could stop working if Apple officially removes it from UIKit (which they have done very, very rarely). – HangarRash Aug 19 '23 at 04:44

UIWebView is deprecated and should not be used. Versions including iOS 17 should instead use WKWebView. Apple has officially said they will reject the use of UIWebView.

That being said, you can still use UIWebView in iOS 17 (this person is doing it, for example)

    @ShahbazAkram You still can. I misunderstood your initial question, sorry. I have updated my response accordingly so you may mark it as the answer. – Ben A. Aug 19 '23 at 03:07
