Android KitKat 4.4 was released, which was released in 2013. Launched with LG’s Nexus 5 smartphone, it brought a lot of new features, sometimes it is still used (album cover of playing music, full screen mode, contact photos highlighted during call), sometimes not (centralization of messages in Hangout). he will do surrender soon.
Google has indeed announced the final end of operating system support from next month. After ten years of good and faithful service, It’s all over for KitKat. It will just be outdated.
Android KitKat will no longer be updated
Of course, Android 4.4 has been out of date for a while.however the OS still benefited from app updates via Google Play Services. All this is over. Now, all apps are set to be deprecated soon. The phones will of course continue to work but will remain as they are.
According to Google’s own figures, Less than 1% of users still own a phone with Android KitKat loaded. Old phones that should be left in the closet now, we can even say antiques. If you’re one of them, you should move on…
This isn’t the first time Google has ended support for an Android version. in 2021 was the discontinued Jelly Bean (2012). Now it’s KitKat’s turn. KitKat was not only an update among others, but also one of the most important updates in the history of the operating system and was in full expansion at the time. The market was very different back then. If iOS was already there, feature phones would continue to resist, BlackBerrys were still attractive, and various manufacturers such as Samsung would sometimes sell smartphones with their own operating systems.
Kitkat is therefore… taking a definite break.
