The Android KitKat (KK) platform was first released ~10 years ago and since then, we’ve introduced many innovative improvements and features for Android, which are unavailable on KK. As of July 2023, the active device count on KK is below 1% as more and more users update to the latest Android versions. Therefore, we are no longer supporting KK in future releases of Google Play services. KK devices will not receive versions of the Play Services APK beyond 23.30.99.

Is anyone here still using KitKat? 🤔

    Interesting. Do you have it mounted permanently in the car?

      Dirtbike handlebars, I don’t want my usual phone in a risky position. It runs off a USB socket from the bike’s electrics and I hotspot data from my regular phone.

      I also have a Garmin Montana, but that’s quite big and bulky and overkill just to see where I am when I get lost.

        Nice! That’s a good idea. I should consider mounting my old Note 8 to my MTB handlebars.
