Google will discontinue official support for Android Lollipop OS, which debuted with Nexus 6.
Also known as Android 5.0, it was widely popular for introducing Material You to Android devices.
The said OS will no longer receive Google Play Updates, citing that less than one percent of active devices are running it.

Also known as Android 5.0, it was widely popular for introducing Material You to Android devices.

This is incorrect - Android 5 came with Material Design, of which Material You is an evolution (arguably it could also be called Material Design 3). Material You did not exist back then.
