Pokémon GO to discontinue support on 32-bit Android devices

Trainers,

In an upcoming update to Pokémon GO, we are ending support for 32-bit Android devices. By doing this, we are able to streamline our development process and focus resources on supporting newer operating systems and technologies. Users on 64-bit Android devices and iOS users are not affected and don’t need to take any action.

Support for affected devices will end in phases starting March 2025, with Android devices that downloaded Pokémon GO from the Samsung Galaxy Store. Support on 32-bit Android devices for those that downloaded Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store will end in July 2025.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of 32-bit Android devices:

Samsung Galaxy S4, S5, Note 3, J3
Sony Xperia Z2, Z3
Motorola Moto G (1st generation)
LG Fortune, Tribute
OnePlus One
HTC One (M8)
ZTE Overture 3
Certain Android devices released before 2015

Trainers using affected devices will no longer be able to access their Pokémon GO accounts (including their PokéCoins and items) from those devices once the update is live. If you are using a 32-bit Android device, you will need a compatible 64-bit Android device or iOS device to continue playing Pokémon GO. Before you upgrade, make sure to save your account’s log-in information somewhere so you can log back in on your new device!
