How to use Fully Kiosk with older devices? ​

We’ve completely discontinued support for Android 4.4 by the end of the year 2021.  Android 4.4 devices are unsafe as there is no built-in support for TLS 1.2.  This makes all network communication of the device spoofable. Keeping support for these devices by our servers is potentially insecure. The last app releases working with Android 4.4 are Fully Kiosk Browser 1.44.1, Fully Single App Kiosk 1.8 and Fully Video Kiosk 1.8. Newer releases don’t support Android 4.4 and can’t be installed at all. If your devices get updates by Google Play they will not get any Fully Kiosk updates anymore. You can keep using older versions, of course, with all PLUS features. However you can’t activate/deactivate a PLUS license or use Fully Cloud with those devices anymore.

By the end of 2025, we also stopped supporting Android 5. Existing installations can be used however they won’t get any updates. The last app releases supporting Android 5 are Fully Kiosk Browser 1.59.2, Fully Single App Kiosk 1.19.2 and Fully Video Kiosk 1.19.2. Note that Android 5.0 devices will be not able to connect to our cloud and licensing servers after 1 January 2029.

By the end of 2026 we will discontinue support for Android 6 and KNOX 2.x. Existing installations can be used however they won’t get any updates. The latest app versions working here are the current 1.61 and 1.21.

Please be aware of the security and other issues in the old Android versions and the totally outdated Android Webview. We recommend an upgrade to newer devices.
