Android Version Google Support Our Support

  • Full support is only available for Android versions that are still being supported by Google. All features are available on most devices (we have not encountered a device that does not support all features yet, but due to the large numbers of Android device full feature support is not guaranteed).
  • Partially support is available for some older Android versions that Google are no longer providing any security updates. Some features may not work on some devices.
