Google published a notice on its website about reducing support for the company’s Chrome browser on devices running the Android operating system.
In the description of Chrome version 120, which is expected to be released on December 6, 2023, it is stated that the browser will lose support for the Android 7 Nougat operating system. The last version of Chrome to support Android 7 Nougat will be Chrome 119. A year ago, Google ended support for Android 107 Marshmallow with the release of Chrome 6.
The first version of Chrome for Android was released in late 2012 with the release of Chrome 18. At the same time, Android 7 Nougat was released in 2016 along with the original Google Pixel smartphone.
While only 2.6% of Android users are currently using phones running 7.0 Nougat or 7.1 Nougat, Android 13 is the top Android version installed on 22.4% of all devices. Note that Chrome will not stop working on older Android versions when support ends, it will just stop receiving updates.
