Extended Support for Chromebooks

Problem

What happens to Android apps when you choose the extended support for Chromebooks?

Environment

  • ChromeOS
  • Admin console
  • Android apps

Solution

When you opt in for the extended support for the Chromebooks, it will extend its support for another few years. However, Android apps that you have deployed on them will be removed. Android apps that you deployed will still be available for the Chromebooks that still supports them (existing/newer models).

The Android apps that you deployed from your Admin console under Devices > Chrome > Apps & extensions, will stay there but they will not be push to the devices that you opted in to the extended support.
