Android 15 is an upcoming major release of the Android mobile operating system. With the release of the first developer preview in February 2024 and a release of the first beta in April 2024, Google expects to reach platform stability in June 2024 with a final release expected in Q3 2024.[1]

History[edit]

Android 15 is internally codenamed "Vanilla Ice Cream''.[2][3]

The first developer preview (also known as DP1) for Android 15 was released on 16 February 2024.[4] The second developer preview (DP2) was released on 21 March 2024.[5] The first beta was released on 11 April 2024.[6]

Features[edit]

The official DP1 release notes state that the following features will be introduced in Android 15:[4]

  • Privacy Sandbox
  • Health Connect
  • File integrity
  • Partial screen sharing
  • In-app camera controls
  • Dynamic Performance
  • Sensitive notifications
  • Notification cooldown

However, enthusiasts have discovered the existence of other under development features that may be released in later developer preview versions, such as the introduction of lockscreen widgets, battery health determination, app archiving, voice activation, private space and app pairs.[7][8]

The release of DP2 brought more new features to Android 15, including improved compatibility with satellite networks, improvements to the built-in PDF reader and support for app archiving, among many other developments.[9][10]

The release of Beta 1 came with new features, such as apps being able to scale edge to edge and draw translucent system bars on the top and bottom of the screen, OS-level support for app archiving and unarchiving on third party app stores, better braille support, end-to-to-end encryption for contact keys, and many other new developer features.[11][12]
