WATCH THE VIDEO HERE It should be known that installing heavily outdated apps poses a security risk. This also applies to apps that are compatible with older versions of Android. Currently, Android does not allow you to install apps made for Android 5 (Lollipop) or older. However, according to a new report, it appears that Android 15 will not allow you to install apps made for Android 6 (Marshmallow). Right now, we are uncovering more information about Android 15. If you are curious, you can check out our rundown of some of the most exciting features coming to Android 15. The beta for the latest version of Android will be coming out eventually, so more people will be able to try out these exciting features. This is a change targeted at making Android devices more secure. Older versions of Android have less strict security requirements. This means that it’s easier for malicious app developers to make apps that can harm or infiltrate your system. So, forcing companies to make apps targeted at newer versions of Android with stricter security protocols helps mitigate that risk. As it stands, Android 14 does not allow users to install apps targeted at SDK version 22, also known as Android 5 lollipop. The company chose Android 5 because Android 6 brought a game-changing security feature. Well, it appears that the company is tightening its belt even more. Using the latest Android 15 developer preview, Android engineer Mishaal Rahmen tried to install an app targeted at Android 6. However, it was blocked. He then tried installing that same app on a phone using Android 14, and it installed. So, it appears that Android 15 will no longer allow you to download apps targeted at Android 6. This is a move that will push developers to update their apps if they have not been updated in years. If you plan on side-loading apps from older versions of Android, you’ll be out of luck. This change applies to side-loaded apps as well.Android 15 may not let you install apps for Android 6
