I recently had to wipe my phone and start from scratch. The only app that will not install now is the ring app. OS is Android 8.1. The phone is a Blackberry Key 2. Anyone else run into this issue?

    Thanks for the info. Ring.com should update their web site. It still says Android 8.1 and above.

      Just bought Ring doorbell this week and still no mention on Amazon of Android 9 requirement... Now need to buy 2 new phones... This would definitely have altered my purchase decision

    Its a bit much when you have to buy a new phone because ring upfate the always home app diisgusting way tl run a business would not buy any ring products again

      Hi Neighbors. I've notified the appropriate team to update the documents to reflect Android 9 is the minimum OS. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

        Instead of updating the documents, why not do something more useful like updating the software to accept Android 8.

      Yes I just ran into that problem with my Blackberry Key 2 but I love the phone so I am not getting a new one. I just log into ring.com and I can see everything.

        Hi, yep i ve got an steam powered Samsung galaxy A5, well 4 as got 2 spare ones, it may be old but takes better pictures than new iPhone's, and its a work phone so is used not just a toy. Has lovely finger print button. And battery still lasts all day, and in 5 yrs of having them only broken 1 screen as it was way ahead of its time. Id rather put all my ring cams and doorbell on ebay and go to another cctv cameras, Alfred is a fab free app that actually is better than ring now as it does a constant record mode and and old phone can be used back to 4.8 and only 28 quid a year for any amount of cameras and you can even track the phone cam if its stolen, think my days with RING are done. Maybe give google ago. What a bunch of idiots ring are. I ll be talking to my legal guy as they did not contact any registered users to advise of this update and took a member to tell them, bunch of clowns
