Android 2.3.7 devices are blocked: no Google account logins in September

On August 2, according to The Verge, if your device is running Android 2.3.7 or older operating system, you will not be able to log in to your Google account.

It is reported that starting from September 27, 2021, Google will no longer allow Android devices with Android 2.37 and lower versions to log in to Google accounts. When users log in on these devices, the system will prompt that the username or password is incorrect. At that time, the use of Google's Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, etc. will be restricted.

According to the information, Android 2.3 was released in December 2010 and has a history of more than 10 years. It is code-named "Gingerbread".

The Verge said that Google's move is bound to affect some old devices, and users must either upgrade to a higher version of the operating system or directly replace their phones.

Google said that currently Android 3.0 devices can also log in to Google accounts and use Google's full range of services.
