I uninstalled & can no longer re install Brave

Description of the issue:
I have been using and loving Brave on my Samsung tablet for years. I recently accidentally uninstalled it and I’m unable to reinstall. It states this tablet isn’t compatible with this app. I don’t understand how it was fine 5 minutes ago and now I can’t use it any longer. I have a very difficult time understanding all this technology and could really use some help. I don’t want to switch to another browser.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
Not sure what this means, but each time I click install it states this tablet isn’t compatible with this app. That is as far as I can get.

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):

I don’t think this is required as it is self-explanatory.

Expected result:

Unable to download Brave onto my tablet.

Reproduces how often:

Every single time I try to download Brave.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):

I am not too sure what all this is but will include the information I think you may need to help. I have a ton of space available on my tablet. I do not use this for much.

Additional Information:

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab E, model number SM- T560NU. Under software information it states it is Android version 7. 1.1 Samsung version 8.5
Please let me know if you need any further information, I just don’t know what else to provide. Any help is really appreciated.

I should also mention that if someone provides a response to my question I am not too sure how to find that. If I do not reply to your answer here it is because I am unaware you responded. I created a sign in with Brave and hope that will help me locate any responses I receive. I can also be emailed at [email protected]

@Jenpepler,
The reason this is occurring is likely because you are using an Android version that is no longer supported by newer versions of the browser. It was working for you before because you hadn’t updated the application, so the older version of the browser could keep running.

The only way to continue using Brave would be to install an older version of the Android browser.

Thank you so very much for helping me understand! I really appreciate your time and knowledge! With that said, can you recommend where I might find an older version for my Android browser? I don’t use my tablet for much and it’s working just fine for what I need it for, so I have no plans to replace it anytime soon. It be great if I can continue to use even an old version of Brave but if not at least I now understand why. Thank you:-)

You can download the .apk file for the version you’re looking for on our Github here:

I believe you’ll want the BraveMonoarm.apk file.
