A very easy explanation of the Android 16 KB page size update and how to keep your app working well.
Android is moving to a 16 KB memory page size on new devices. This change can affect some apps, especially apps that use native code. Here is a very simple guide.
Explore mobile app development services or contact if you need help with updates.
A page size is the basic block of memory used by the system. Older devices often use 4 KB. New devices can use 16 KB. It is faster and better for modern chips.
If your app is only Java or Kotlin, you are mostly safe. If your app uses C or C++ code (NDK), or uses native libraries, you should test and update.
Use a new Android device or emulator that supports 16 KB. Install your app and use all main features. Check logs for native errors.
Ask the SDK provider for a 16 KB compatible version. Update the SDK and test again.
Google Play will accept 16 KB compatible apps. A clean update keeps your app ranking safe and user reviews positive.
