Summary:
Less than 0.5% of our install base is using a version of Android below API 24 (Android 7, Nougat).
Android 7 itself is already 8 years old!
Dropping support for older versions means:
Additionally a number of our dependencies have dropped support for anything below 21 - AndroidX dropped support in April 2024, and Google Play Services dropped support in August 2023.
Some stats:
Note that users on older versions of Android can continue using the app if they already have it installed. However those users will not be able to install the app moving forward and will not receive updates.
