Edge app for android in Google Play Store "no longer compatible with your device."
Hiya! I was directed here from the Microsoft Support Community as I was told that there are developers in this community. Here is my issue, any help would be SUPER appreciated. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it. The issue I'm having is related to updating the Edge app in the Google Play Store on my android 7 phone. In the Play Store, when I go to update either Edge or Edge Beta the option to update is no longer available and instead in red text it says "This app is no longer compatible with your device. Contact the developers for more info." I have emailed the developer at the email address provided in the Play Store, I have also submitted feedback several times on both apps, but with no luck, and with no response. I posted my issue in the support community and was directed here. I've read online that I should clear the Play Store Cache and app caches and have done so. I've also updated my phone. I haven't uninstalled and reinstalled the apps for fear that I won't be able to reinstall them at all due to the compatibility issue. I understand from reading online that it's probably related to my phone only being android 7 and that in the latest updates to the apps the developer(s) probably set the minSdkVersion to something higher than Android 7. I understand Android 7 is an older version and I've had this issue with other apps but they always clear themselves up, either on their own or with a quick email to the developer. Fingers crossed someone can help. Thanks so so so much. Cheers!
MS Edge - Sidebar and copilot not working on Linux Ubuntu v24 LTS
Sidebar not syncing or accepting new app additions (+). Copilot button is dead/inactive. Sidebar settings are well configured. Using the latest version of the Ubuntu OS and MS Edge. Functionality appears to be absent as product was released without full functionality....Lame!
Bug: Empty bar at bottom of screen on Android 14 Honor 70 / MagicOS 8.0
After updating Microsoft Edge to version 142.0.3595.66 on Android 14 with MagicOS 8.0 on an Honor 70 smartphone, a permanent empty strip appears at the bottom of the screen when using gesture navigation. This issue was not present in previous versions, such as 141.0.3537.99. Disabling the "Edge-to-edge Everywhere" or "Edge-to-edge Tablet" flags does not resolve the problem. It seems to be related to the new edge-to-edge design introduced in the latest update. Please fix this issue or add an option to disable the bottom padding. Thank you.Cast button in toolbar doesn't work anymore
I'm on a Windows 10 tablet and since a few weeks in all my 3 installations (Stable, Dev 141.0.3500.1 , Canary 141.0.3518.0) the cast button in the toolbar doesn't work anymore. Only option I have now to initiate casting is with: Menu-Button => More Tools => Cast Media, which is quite annoying. Could someone from the developer team please take a look into that? Thanks in advance!Microsoft Edge/MSN Ads on videos has forced me to stop using it
I cannot believe that Microsoft Edge's home page (MSN) now inserts commercial ads into most every video article it posts. As I try to watch the article, ads now pop up, frequently more than one. It forces me to either sit through watching the ads to read some mundane article or close the video and get off the browser. I am soooo sick of advertising trying to get me to spend money on some stupid product. I have now found myself closing the browser and not using Edge/MSN most of the time now. What a waste. At least Firefox and Google have not started doing this (yet). Has anyone else found this to be true?
The official place to report bugs
I am a user of the beta version of Edge on Linux. From time to time, I encounter bugs that I’d like to report. After some searching, this forum is the closest I have found to a bug tracker. So I was wondering whether there’s a dedicated place for reporting bugs or should I just post here?Feature Request: PDF Layer Support in the new Adobe PDF Engine for Edge
Beschreibung: Mit der Umstellung des integrierten PDF‑Viewers in Microsoft Edge auf die Adobe Acrobat PDF‑Engine (Rollout ab 2023, vollständige Ablösung des Legacy‑Engines bis Juni 2026) ist es entscheidend, dass wichtige Profi‑Funktionen nicht verloren gehen. Ein zentraler Wunsch vieler Anwender ist die vollständige Unterstützung von PDF‑Layern. Gerade in technischen Bereichen – etwa bei CAD‑Zeichnungen, Bauplänen oder Schaltbildern – sind Layer unverzichtbar, um Inhalte gezielt ein‑ oder auszublenden und komplexe Dokumente verständlich darzustellen. Wir bitten darum, sicherzustellen, dass die neue Adobe‑Integration in Edge auch diese Layer‑Funktionalität nativ unterstützt. Ohne diese Funktion bleibt Edge für professionelle PDF‑Workflows eingeschränkt und zwingt Nutzer weiterhin zu Dritt‑Viewern. Use‑Case‑Beispiele: Elektrotechnik: Kabelpläne mit Layern für Signal‑, Strom‑ und Steuerleitungen Architektur: Baupläne mit Layern für unterschiedliche Gewerke (Elektro, Sanitär, Statik) Dokumentation: Technische Handbücher mit optionalen Layern für Detailansichten Eine native Layer‑Unterstützung würde die neue Adobe‑Engine in Edge deutlich aufwerten und den Einsatz für Fachanwender erheblich verbessern. gb-EN Description: With Microsoft Edge transitioning its built‑in PDF viewer to the Adobe Acrobat PDF engine (rollout starting in 2023, legacy engine removed by June 2026), it is crucial to ensure that key professional features are not overlooked. One of the most requested capabilities is full support for PDF layers. In technical fields – such as CAD drawings, construction plans, or electrical schematics – layers are essential to selectively show or hide content and make complex documents easier to understand. We kindly ask that the new Adobe integration in Edge natively supports PDF layers. Without this functionality, Edge remains limited for professional PDF workflows and forces users to rely on third‑party viewers. Use‑Case Examples: Electrical engineering: cable diagrams with separate layers for signal, power, and control lines Architecture: construction plans with layers for different trades (electrical, plumbing, structural) Documentation: technical manuals with optional detail layers Native layer support would significantly enhance the Adobe PDF engine in Edge and make it far more valuable for professional users.
Are there any fix for hardware acceleration issues?
I am no longer using Edge because on Windows there are some issues that appear to be related to hardware acceleration, bugging what the browser renders, and have to resize it's window to fix. It happens on specific websites and mostly while gaming. On MacOS M1/M4 doesn't happens. On iOS 18/26 there were some issues related to scrolling on some websites (I think related to ads) . To fix, have to go back or close the tab. I really like Edge, but these issues made me migrate to Firefox (no issues), using only Edge on the business computer.. Will there be a fix for chromium based applications or by Edge it self some day?
