Currently, the Ring app requires Android 9 and up. If your device does not support Android 9, you will not be able to update and use the current version of the Ring app. You can read more about mobile device compatibility and find the current supported mobile device software in our Help Center article here.
You may continue to use the Ring app on Android 8, but you will not receive important security and performance updates. If you don’t wish to use an unsupported version of the Ring App, you can use Ring.com or the latest version of the Ring App on an Android device that Ring does support.
