Minimum requirement is Android 5 (Lollipop 2014, first BLE support), however at least Android 6 (Marshmallow 2015) is recommended as Bluetooth is more stable. While Android 5/6 are officially supported by Meshtastic, it is *not* recommended that you purchase devices with these versions due to their limited OS support and limited battery life due to age. Many newer models exist that are very affordable. A good resource to use when researching affordable devices is the [LineageOS Supported Devices List](https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/).

### Is location access required to use the Meshtastic App? ### What is the cloud icon next to the message?
Depending on which version of Android your device runs, you may have to enable location access to pair via Bluetooth. For Android 8+ we use [this API](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/companion-device-pairing) that does not require location access. However, each OS implements BLE differently and we have noticed some devices still require location access to scan for Bluetooth devices.
