Google is planning to end support for older versions of Android for Android Auto. This means that owners of older smartphones should start worrying about their continued use of this application.
The Chrome 120 update was the last one to support older versions of the Android system, such as Android Nougat. Now it’s time for Android Auto, which will also stop working on these systems.
This is not surprising, considering that Android Nougat was introduced to the market back in 2016. The code of the Android Auto application contains hints about updating to a newer version of Android, most likely Android Oreo from 2018. Users will receive notifications to update their system on car screens.
Smartphones with Android Nougat now represent only a small portion of the market. So if you still own such a device, it’s high time to make a change. It’s not just about functionality, but above all, about the security of your data.
In light of the requirements for data security, it is also worth mentioning another data breach. This time, data from the ALAB medical laboratories network was compromised. It is important to exercise caution and protect your personal data.
