With every major update, however, comes the risk of incompatibility. For example, if you have an Android device from three years ago, it may not be eligible for the upgrade since it&#8217;d be considered &#8220;obsolete.&#8221; On the software side, if you update your Android device to the latest version and you use a recording app that is no longer supported, the app may not operate as expected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"How-to-check-the-Android-version-number\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader blackHeader alignLeft underline customh4 swheader\">How to check the Android version number<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice sluggish performance or aren&#8217;t sure if you&#8217;re on the latest version, you can quickly check by going into your system settings.
