| Android 8+ | OpenRoaming availability depends on vendor build and chipset support. |
| Android 11+ | supported |
Note on geteduroam on Androidand user choice: the in-app workflow only installs OpenRoaming if one the "Always" variants has been selected. If "Ask user" has been selected, geteduroam in-app workflow will only install eduroam, not OpenRoaming.
