Android Jelly Bean Users: No More Google Chrome Compatibility

Jelly Bean is nearly 6 years old as an Android Version. Clearly, it is one of the oldest Android Versions that still exists. This version used to get maximum updates from Google Chrome. But now, there will be no updates for this particular Android version as Chrome will now remove the compatibility feature totally. Jelly Bean covers Android 4.1X. 4.2X and 4.3X versions of Android. Even after this only 3.3% of Android devices are having this version presently in use. The exact date is still unknown when Google will completely shut the compatibility, but the thing is sure to happen. It is undoubtedly going to make some users unhappy as they would not be able to use Chrome for their browsing purpose.

Regarding this change, users of Jelly Beans Android option will have two options. One is that they should change their device in order to switch to other android version and other that they should switch to another browser. This change can be deployed at any time and s the Jelly Beans users should have an alternative plan for them. Once this happens, then the oldest Android version that will be then compatible with Google Chrome would be KitKat.
