Hi,

Niantic decided to postpone the updates as they will be collecting more data on impacted device.

Anonymous, 15 Jun 2020this is the fault on both Niantic and smartphone manufacturer you cant just drop a support on... moreI would say it would probably have something to do about upcoming update features. Not sure what it is but most likely the 32-bit devices just can't handle it.

this is the fault on both Niantic and smartphone manufacturer
you cant just drop a support on the phone that is still widely used globally
but smartphone manufacturer need to stop using 32-bit and proceed to make all phone with 64-bit

Love the Community, 15 Jun 20202015 huh. I assume that 95% of the "billion" Android users are 64-bit by now.Samsung,Xiaomi entry segment devices are being shipped with 32 bit OS untill recently.
I think we need more transparency & regulations to stop fraud marketing.
Benchmark cheating,Marketing of smartphone cameras with DSLR photos,GPU Turbo,Quad/penta cameras with Depth,Macro lenses,Fake liquid cooling,Using superior parts for initial batches to get positive reviews but later swiching for inferior parts in later batches to maximize profit,Apps monitoring usage data & violating privacy.
Smartphone industry seriously need regulations to stop ill marketing & increase transparency.

MSU2012, 15 Jun 2020They must continue support for 32-bit OS ROM instruction set indefinitely. 32-bit and 64-bit ... more32 bit must be buried by now, Apple quickly adopted 64 only apps and google still hasn't done it yet.

They must continue support for 32-bit OS ROM instruction set indefinitely. 32-bit and 64-bit ROM instruction sets are found on many of today's Android phones, and thus, cannot be dropped for this, and all other reasons for doing so. They have far more than enough resources to keep supporting and developing 32-bit ROM instruction set. Even my Galaxy J7 Star uses the 32-bit ROM instruction set on a 64-bit Exynos Processor, as tested on the AIDA64 application. Google must also maintain support for any and all 32-bit instruction set(s) for Android OSes, as well as device manufacturers. Again, please continue support for the 32-bit instruction set.

I think the big issue is that there are still phones being released that ship with a 32-bit OS on 64-bit hardware. Despite the examples Niantic gave on their list, recent phones like the Motorola Moto G7 Play and the Samsung Galaxy A10(e), all released in 2019 come with a 32-bit OS and will therefore not be able to play the game despite having capable enough hardware.
I think a lot of the blame should be put on manufacturers in this instance though. Personally I would have assumed that if a device has 64-bit capable hardware, the OS shipped with it would be 64-bit. Manufacturers need to be more transparent if this is not the case.

AmyHopps10, 15 Jun 2020What to do if you can't afford a 64-bit device & you still need to play this game?Redmi phones of 2019/2020 are already affordable enough. You'd be lucky to find a 2017 flagship phone for the same price as the one I mentioned.
