Adobe Flash Player for Android

Distribution status and compatibility notice

Adobe stopped distributing Flash for Android in 2021. As a result, this app will not function on devices running Android 4.0.1 or newer. Attempting to use the download button will take you to the Adobe Flash Player EOL (End‑of‑Life) General Information page.

Is your device supported?

Flash still remains officially available on a limited set of older devices. To confirm whether your phone is one of them, consult the official compatibility list provided by Adobe before attempting installation.

What Flash enables on mobile

If the plug‑in is installed and supported by your device, Flash can load a variety of rich web content, including:

• Mobile applications built with Flash
• Browser games that require the Flash runtime
• Interactive animated content
• Streaming and embedded Flash video

Why some users still choose Flash on Android

On devices where it is supported, Flash adds access to legacy multimedia and interactive sites that otherwise won’t run in a mobile browser. This historical support has been one factor that set Android apart from platforms that never supported Flash natively.

Recommendation

If you want broader access to older web content and your phone appears on the supported-device list, installing Adobe Flash Player on that Android handset will let you view Flash-based multimedia. If your device is not compatible, consider alternative, modern web technologies or updated sites that use HTML5.
