Important Update: Support Changes for Duplicates Cleaner on Older Android Devices

Sharing is caring!

At Duplicates Cleaner, our goal has always been to provide a smooth, safe, and high-performance file-cleaning experience. To continue delivering on this promise, we are updating our minimum supported device requirements for Android.

❗ End of Support for Older Android Versions & Low-RAM Devices

Effective from v4.1.6, Duplicates Cleaner will no longer support:

  • Android devices running Android 8 (Oreo) or below
  • Devices with 2GB RAM or less
  • Small screen devices having typical resolution of below 500 (368×448, 240×282)

Why is Support Being Discontinued?

This change is necessary due to:

Security Compliance – Google Play now enforces modern security standards and APIs that are only compatible with newer Android versions.
Performance & Reliability – Advanced similarity detection algorithms require more memory to scan media efficiently without crashing.
User Data Protection – New Android security patches help ensure safer handling of file permissions and storage access.
Improved AI Accuracy – Our Intelligent Eye Technology (IET) works best on devices with modern architecture.

By focusing support on newer devices, we can continue enhancing performance, stability, and privacy protection.

What Will Happen If I Use an Unsupported Device?

If you continue using an older or low-RAM device:

  • You may not receive future updates or bug fixes
  • Some features may stop working properly
  • IET similar image detection unavailability

For the best and most secure user experience, we recommend upgrading to a device running Android 9 or above with at least 3GB RAM.

Looking Ahead

This change allows us to focus on delivering:

✨ Faster scanning & detection
✨ Better AI similarity algorithms
✨ Modern UI/UX improvements
✨ Top-tier privacy and compliance
✨ Long-term app reliability

We truly appreciate your support and understanding as we continue evolving Duplicates Cleaner for the future.

  1. I can’t find where my answer would be please forgive me if this is a duplicate question. I’m wondering is the premium version just $5, or $5 per month?
