Just checked the wikipedia page today and it says that it's "Unsupported".

When did that happened, isn't it currently the most used Android version?

When did that happened?

Looks like 4 months ago. https://endoflife.date/android

Isn't it currently the most used Android version?

According to this source, as of Jan 23, no. 10 is at 18.01%, which is beat by both 11 (23.15%) and 12 (25.29%). This is why you buy a phone with good support, and update your OS. They can't support everything forever. Progress happens, security changes, and they can't always backport the fixes, which also takes their talent away from evolving the OS. https://www.statista.com/statistics/921152/mobile-android-version-share-worldwide/

Personally, I get Pixels and install GrapheneOS. They get 5 years of support.

Is there anything you miss from Android while using GrapheneOS?

32 bit app support is missing on the Pixel 7, so some older apps will NOT run. Like, at all. No recourse of action other than checking a different app.
