I have Waze (free) installed on my Samsung Galaxy S8

I'm trying to install it on my wife's Samsung Galaxy S8+, and apparently the app won't work on her ohie and therefore won't install.

That doesn't make sense, surely? Any ideas?

Solved.

It's only compatible with OS 10, and we both have OS 9. But when I installed it on my phone, it was compatible with OS 9.

I suspect your version of waze is quite old which is why you find this issue and may find it stops working in future. You might be able to find the apk of the same version of yours and side load it but you would have to be confident of the source to ensure you aren t accidently installing malware.

However since the S8 dates back to 2017 and android 10 has not had updates for over 2 years, I d consider investing in new phones.
