The latest version of Raspberry Pi Connect extends support for older Raspberry Pi boards, via Raspberry Pi

A month and a half ago, we launched Raspberry Pi Connect, giving you simple, remote access to your Raspberry Pi right out of the box, from anywhere in the world. Since then, we’ve been listening to your feedback on what you’d most like to see in the service: today, we’re excited to announce the latest beta, bringing Raspberry Pi Connect to even more devices.

Today’s release includes remote shell access and support for all Raspberry Pi computers, whether they run 32-bit or 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, dating back to the Raspberry Pi 1 in 2012. This includes the Raspberry Pi OS Lite operating system, as well as desktop versions of the Raspberry Pi OS.
