Google has yet to release an official statement on the matter. However, a user named AssembleDebug from TheSpAndroid discovered that Google Calendar now has a flag called “UnsupportedOperatingSystem__enabled.” This indicates that users running Android 7.1 and older will no longer be able to use the app in the future.
It should be noted that Android Nougat 7.1 is now considered outdated as it was released in 2016. If you are still using a phone with this operating system, it is possible that device has already stopped providing support for it.
