Hi
Firstly I hope I am posting this query on the right forum section. If not then maybe I can move it to a more appropriate one.
One of my sons has a Samsung Phone with Android 5.xx version running on it.
No hang-ups -all's fine , till the banking application that's installed ( ABN AMRO ) wont open any more because the min. rqmts are Android 6 for that app.
The issue is quiet clear and I have the following options :
1) upgrade to android 6 and loose all user data + installed apps ( afaik )
* thats something he does not want
2) Buy a new modern phone
* I dont think so
3) keep the phone as it is and do nothing .
*btw I dont want to root the phone either ...it will negate the warranty.
but is there a way out of here other than the above 3 options ? or ...is option 1 safe ...regarding user data & all pre-installed apps ?
Its only this bank app. that's an issue while---rest all on the phone is all fine incl. whatsapp etc.
Thx. in advance !
