Mobile OS Version
Android OS: version 9 or higher (any brand, both tablet and phone)

For optimal performance and access to the latest features, it is strongly advised to consistently utilise the most recent version of the Upvise native app on your devices.
From a technical standpoint, Upvise apps are designed to function on older OS devices. Nevertheless, in the event of troubleshooting, it is essential to prioritise updating both your device’s operating system and the Upvise Mobile application. Ensure you have the latest versions installed as the initial step when encountering any issues.
