Get to have an old mobile device, such as a tablet or smartphone, allows us to reuse them for various tasks such as converting them into one for streaming on the screen or taking it with us to monitor our outings to the field or city when we go running. Those old devices can be reused, although we will be limited by the lack of support for some apps.
This is what happened recently with WhatsApp that cut support for the old versions of operating systems for mobile devices. Now is when Telegram has joined that movement by WhatsApp to leave behind users who are on Android from version 2.2 to 3.0. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is the minimum operating system for the latest version of Telegram to work.
The decision is made for something quite evident and it is because implement new features in a software that it is a few years old is much more forced and you cannot understand the loss of time that it entails being fully functional. It is something that happens with software in general terms and that we can see even in Windows when Microsoft stops supporting older editions such as XP.
However, users on older Android phones can try the web version of Telegram, since web browsers will still be able to handle it without major problems.
Right now, devices that have Android versions from 2.0 to 3.0 are about the 1,4 percent fee of all those that enter the Google Play Store monthly, which becomes 19,6 million units worldwide. These data are collected from Google itself, which shares them monthly with all of us to show us how the fragmentation of versions is going on Android.
