Supported Android Version
Android version support status, as of 2023-01-01:
| Android Version | Google Support | Our Support |
|---|---|---|
| 10.0 or above | Yes | Full |
| 6.0 to 9.0 | No | Partial |
| 5.0 or below | No | No |
- 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.
