Google Ceases Support for Chrome on Android 7 Nougat following a Prolonged 7-Year Support Period

Google has announced that it will stop supporting Chrome on Android versions 7.0-7.1 Nougat, starting with Chrome 120 in early December 2023. Android Nougat was released in 2016, and it has been a long time since it received support. However, Google has continued to provide support for Chrome on this version. This announcement means that Android Nougat will no longer receive support after Chrome version 119, which is the latest version currently available. In total, Chrome will have been supported on Android Nougat for approximately 7 years. The impact of ending support for Chrome is significant because it will affect other apps that rely on Chrome for rendering web pages.

The oldest Android version that still receives support at present is Android 11, which was released in 2020.

TLDR: Google announced the end of Chrome support for Android versions 7.0-7.1 Nougat. This will take effect with the release of Chrome 120 in December 2023. Android Nougat will no longer receive support after Chrome version 119. This decision will have a significant impact on apps that use Chrome for web page rendering. The oldest Android version currently supported is Android 11, released in 2020.
