# Native Mobile Apps

In a **future** release, Bitwarden Password Manager mobile apps downloaded via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store will be upgraded to [native mobile applications for iOS and Android](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/blog/native-mobile-apps/):

- Users who **install** Bitwarden after this release will always receive the new native application.
- Users who **already have Bitwarden installed** on their devices will have the new native application rolled out to them in phases.

> [!WARNING] OS support for native mobile apps
> Native mobile applications have stricter operating system requirements than Xamarin applications:
> 
> - Android users must be on Version 10 or higher. Learn [how to check your Android version](https://support.google.com/android/answer/7680439?hl=en).
> - iOS users must be in iOS 15.0 or higher. Learn [how to check your iOS version](https://support.apple.com/en-us/109065).
> 
> If your device does not meet these version requirements, your Bitwarden mobile app will remain at the latest version available before this change.
