With the launch of the Google Pixel 7 series, users have discovered that the Google Pixel 7 series appears to be the first Android smartphone to support only 64-bit apps.
According to blogger @MishaalRahman, confirming to those who own a Pixel 7 Pro that the Pixel 7 series only support running 64-bit applications, which means that 32-bit applications that are not updated will not work, such as Flappy Bird.
An error message appears when trying to install a 32-bit-only Android app on the Pixel 7.
@MishaalRahman also pointed out that while Android 13 on Pixel 7 phones don’t allow 32-bit apps to run, internally, the OS is still using some 32-bit libraries, implying that Google is intentionally preventing 32-bit apps from running.
Most users will not be aware of this, because most applications already support 64-bit, and since August 2019, all applications on the Google Play Store must have 64-bit support, Last year it stopped offering 32-bit applications without any 64-bit support.
