Google will stop supporting older Android devices when you sign in with your Google account. Starting from September 27th, Google will not let you sign in to your google account. If you still run Andriod 2.3.7, codenamed Gingerbread or older.

 

 

“As part of our ongoing efforts to keep our users safe, Google will no longer allow sign-in on Android devices that run Android 2.3.7 or lower starting September 27, 2021.”

 

Google is taking this action based on security reasons. The tech company has been going big on privacy and security features recently.

 

The company is mentioned on its support page.

 

“If you sign into your device after September 27, you may get username or password errors when you try to use Google products and services like Gmail, YouTube, and Maps.”
