Krafton will soon introduce a new 3.1 update for BGMI players with an Arabian Nights theme offering new features, gameplay elements and more. However, the company has made an important announcement ahead of the release that it is dropping certain for some Android and iOS phones. So, if you are wondering whether your phone is compatible with a BGMI 3.1 update, here is everything you need to know about the changes.
BGMI 3.1 Update Will Not Support These iOS And Android Versions
According to an announcement by Krafton, the upcoming BGMI 3.1 update will not support devices running on Android 4.4 and iOS 10 or below. It means players using these operating systems will no longer be able to play the game and will need to update their software or buy a new device.

This is due to the upgraded Helpshift, which will arrive with the update for better customer support. However, the end of support is unlikely to affect a large number of players as Android 14 and iOS 17 are the latest versions.
Android 4.4 was released 11 years ago in 2013, while iOS 10 arrived 8 years ago in 2016. Given that most users are unlikely to use a device this old in 2024, the end of support with the BGMI 3.1 won’t affect many users.

3.1 Update Delayed
Krafton also revealed the upcoming BGMI 3.1 update and apologized to users for the inconvenience. Reports suggest the new date for the BGMI 3.1 update will likely be March 27, 2024.
