[Android Central Question]

Hi all, we (my 3 yr old and I) are fortunate enough to have Grandma's Galaxy Tab 3 to participate in ZOOM meetings. Suddenly ZOOM required an upgrade and the device is not compatible!

I cannot be the only person using a galaxy tab 3 for zoom......surely?

It worked absolufine 2 weeks ago.

It's on version 4.4.2

Tried everything regards deleting cache and app etc etc.

Please help...can the tablet not just have an upgrade unofficially?

I can't just go and buy one, I scrimped for the ZOOM classes just so my daughter could continue 1 remote social educational class.

Please please help

Welcome to Android Central! The Tab 3 is really old, and Android 4.4.2 is very out of date. Many modern apps no longer support devices that old, unfortunately. System updates are up to the manufacturer, and back then, users were lucky if their tablets got even one update. Your only option would be to root the device and look for a custom ROM based on a higher Android version over at the XDA-Developers.com forums, but I'm guessing that's beyond your scope (it's beyond mine as well). Sorry!

If you're concerned about price, you might consider an Amazon Kindle Fire tablet, which is compatible with Zoom -- those can be as cheap as $50 or so, even brand new. https://www.pocket-lint.com/tablets/...let-cheap-zoom

Actually, you're not. We had a similar thread recently - https://forums.androidcentral.com/as...g-sm-t310.html
