We recently migrated from Angular 11 to Angular 13, however I see the rxjs version is still 6.5.5. Is it required to upgrade RXJS to 7.4 or we can work with 6.5.5?

I would recommend reading up on Angular's official blog posts to find answers for common questions about core updates.

First up, RxJS 7.4 is now the default for apps created with ng new. Existing apps using RxJS v6.x will have to manually update using the npm install rxjs@7.4 command.

    But why didn't angular updated their package.json to reflect that? – GarfieldKlon Mar 24 '22 at 16:02

    @GarfieldKlon I had the same question. I migrated from angular 11 to 13. And it did not upgrade the rxjs version. Very strange.. – Dinesh Jul 14 '22 at 15:37
  • RxJS introduced some breaking changes between version 6 and 7. So, my assumption is that the Angular team didn't want to force those breaking changes on everyone when they update their existing Angular project. I also assume this is a grace period, and future versions of Angular will make RxJS v7 a hard requirement when updating. – Joshua McCarthy Jul 16 '22 at 04:08
