Is Android 3.0 and earlier supported by Microsoft Intune?

Microsoft Intune does not support Android versions 3.0 and earlier due to the significant advancements and security features introduced in later versions of Android that are critical for effective management and security. As enterprise mobility management increases in importance, Intune focuses on more modern operating systems that provide enhanced security, better application management capabilities, and improved user experience.

The platform's requirement for newer Android versions aligns with the need to leverage mobile device management (MDM) features that are only available in later releases. These features include support for specific security policies, compliance assessments, and app management capabilities that are essential for managing devices in a corporate environment effectively.

Supporting earlier versions of Android would present substantial limitations in terms of security management and functionality, which is why these outdated versions fall outside the official support parameters of Intune.
