> And they mentioned an Android update, but what about the millions of Android phones that aren't getting regular updates?

That's my concern as well. My phone stopped getting updates from the manufacturer after getting Android 10, which is affected by this bug according to the linked comment. How are they going to get this update out to phones that the manufacturers has abandoned after the usual two years of updates?

I have always had Pixels which get monthly updates, but this is a crucial point. Even if Google says "hey guys, we fixed it in AOSP, aren't you proud of us?" No Google, we're not. This AOSP fix won't come to millions and millions of users.

From what I understood, there will be two updates, one to Android and one to Teams. Either of these updates will be enough to fix this issue. So even if Android is no longer being updated for your phone, updating Teams will be enough to fix it.

I mean if it will never be updated again how could you fix any issue ever? Like yeah this one is particularly severe but any resolution will be an update of some kind to the software.

On the plus side, can a two year old phone even run the bloatware that is Teams?

Easily. My mid-range phone (OnePlus 5) is 4.5 years old, phones are powerful and have been for a long time.

My iPhone 6s runs Teams just fine. Granted notifications continue to display on my phone, even when I'm on the desktop or using Teams directly - but nonetheless it still works when I need it to (on iOS, can't say the same for the Android fellows rn)

Fwiw my galaxy note 8 runs it perfectly. I think my iPhone xr is also more than 2 years and no issues.

I'm not saying I love the tool, but phone performance itself is not the reason for me. YMMV.
