[Introduction]

To ensure the best experience and security for our users, Microsoft Teams will no longer release any updates or bug fixes to Teams on devices running Android 8 beginning December 2025. This change allows us to focus development efforts on newer Android versions that offer improved performance, security, and capabilities.

• What will happen:
  • Users on Android 8 will no longer receive latest updates or changes to Microsoft Teams mobile app after December 2025.
  • Teams will continue to be supported on Android 8 so that users can sign-in and use the app.
  • There is no impact to Teams on desktop, web, or other mobile platforms.

[What you can do to prepare:]

• Identify users in your organization who are using Android 8 devices. You can use the Microsoft Teams Admin Center or Microsoft Endpoint Manager to generate device reports.
• Communicate this change to affected users and helpdesk staff.
