Latest version is `v0.118.0`.

Termux can be obtained through various sources listed below for **only** Android `>= 7`. Support was dropped for Android `5` and `6` on [2020-01-01](https://www.reddit.com/r/termux/comments/dnzdbs/end_of_android56_support_on_20200101/) at `v0.83`, old builds are available on [archive.org](https://archive.org/details/termux-repositories-legacy).

There is currently no work being done to solve android `10` issues and *working* updates will not be resumed on Google Play Store any time soon. We will continue targeting sdk `28` for now. So there is not much point in staying on Play Store builds and waiting for updates to be resumed. If for some reason you don't want to move to `F-Droid` or `GitHub` sources for now, then at least check [Package Management](https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/wiki/Package-Management) to **change your mirror**, otherwise, you will get **`repository is under maintenance or down`** errors when running `apt` or `pkg` commands. After that, it is also **highly advisable** to run `pkg upgrade` command to update all packages to the latest available versions, or at least update `termux-tools` package with `pkg install termux-tools` command.
Note that by upgrading old packages to latest versions, like that of `python` may break your setups/scripts since they may not be compatible anymore. Moreover, you will not be able to downgrade the package versions since termux repos only keep the latest version and you will have to manually rebuild the old versions of the packages if required as per https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/wiki/Building-packages.

If you plan on staying on Play Store sources in future as well, then you may want to **disable automatic updates in Play Store** for Termux apps, since if and when updates to disable Termux apps are released, then **you will not be able to downgrade** and **will be forced** to move since apps won't work anymore. Only a way to backup `termux-app` data may be provided. The `termux-tools` [version `>= 0.135`](https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/pull/7493) will also show a banner at the top of the terminal saying `You are likely using a very old version of Termux, probably installed from the Google Play Store.`, you can remove it by running `rm -f /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/motd-playstore` and restarting the app.
