When I start BankID I got the message "The support of Android 5 will cease" I have updated the operating system but I still get the same message.

Hey there Teebee2!

What handset are you using? If you're using a device with Android 5, maybe consider an upgrade to a newer handset. Android 5 is around 6 years old.

All the best,
Tom

Thank you! I guess I have to buy a new phone!

Kind regards

@Teebee2 Yes, no security updates for Android 5. Last year the S7 and S7 Edge were cut from software support. https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_stops_quarterly_security_updates_for_galaxy_s7_and_s7_edge_-news-42483.php
