Although Xiaomi Stream Android 13 to your devices After the last presentation of MIUI 14, Xiaomi’s new customization layer; Google has already set its target next version of your operating system: Android 14, which will come with major changes.

These changes are already starting to come to light, and one of them points directly to apps What we download on our Xiaomi mobile, or rather what the developers are trying to offer us in the Google Play Store As of Android 14 they will need to overcome some filters.

Android apps: raise or die

According to the new policy that the technology giant will follow with the next version of Android, all applications made available to date, Developed based on Android 6 or lower Xiaomi will not work on your mobile When you get the new operating system.

This precaution can affect an infinite number of applicationsapplications we use in our daily lives, but the purpose of the measure is to raise the bar every time restriction affects newer versions. For example, in a few years, with Android 16 (for example), it is the idea of ​​​​applications based on Android 13. Unable to install even by downloading APK file.

It brought both Android 13 and MIUI 14 Major advances in Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO mobiles Although we have started receiving updates and we still have about a year to see Android 14 in Xiaomi, the truth is that this puts developers in control company applications that should be based on the latest version if possible.

This precaution low Android adoption numbersis very different from iOS. Number of users using Android 13, the latest version, still too low if we compare it to iPhone users who have updated their operating system to the latest version.

Everything points to a move on the part of Google that seems to say ‘If Mohammed doesn’t go to the mountain…’ but is passed on to its users. If you (or Xiaomi failing that) don’t update to Google’s operating system, Google will remove apps not based on it.

Only time will tell us what will happen to the apps in the Play Store as that’s about it for now though those based on a very old versionIt will be necessary to see how this decision continues over the years.
