I have a Samsung tablet running on 4.4.2 KitKat and boy it's slow. Heck, some app developer has abandoned Android 4.x OS completely and now putting 5.x Lollipop as the most minimum requirement.

On one hand Google changes version no. every year while upgrading their Android OS and on other hand OEM's never or hardly provide any OS update to their low end and mid range phones.
Most of the people are not even aware about their Android OS version installed on their phone. I have seen many people who are still using the same phone for 4/5 years having Android 5 and 6.

Anonymous, 31 Dec 2019Telegram Telegram is good and secured.
The only problem and also a major one is that they don't have much presense where I live.
I have only very few of my contacts using it.

This is great, now completely drop 32 Bit support and bring 64 only support , this will significantly speed up the app.

So in other words, anything from iPhone 1 - iPhone 4 will not support, but iPhone 4S and up will support. That is brilliant and covers every iPhone from 2011 up.
