Google ends Play Services support for Android 6.0 phones

Google has updated the minimum Play Services requirement to Android 7.0, ending support for Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) devices. This change means phones stuck on Android 6.0 may no longer download apps or games from the Play Store, and existing apps could stop functioning properly. The move impacts devices that cannot be updated past the 2015 operating system, potentially affecting millions of users.
