The 大象传媒 Sounds app requires听Android 7 or Fire OS 6 or above. It may be possible to update your device. Head to the relevant page to find out how to update the operating system on your听device:
- Amazon Fire:
- Android:
(The 大象传媒 is not responsible for the content of external sites.)
It is standard practice for updated apps to no longer support older operating systems. This is the case for 大象传媒 Sounds and 大象传媒 iPlayer,听as well as听apps by other companies and organisations. Supporting older operating systems听is very costly and does not represent good value for money for licence fee payers, given the relatively small number of users we have still using those older operating systems.
However, in the majority of cases users who have older devices which cannot be upgraded can still use the 大象传媒 Sounds website at bbc.co.uk/sounds. More details are available here: Can I use 大象传媒 Sounds on my mobile or tablet?
