Jetpack Compose Roadmap

Last updated: March 22, 2023

Welcome to the Jetpack Compose roadmap, outlining upcoming plans for Jetpack Compose. For completed features, please see release notes.

The major themes in focus for the next release are:

Performance
More support for advanced use cases
Expanded Material 3 component set
Improve tools, including Preview and Live Edit
Platform support: Compose Wear, large screens, homescreen widgets, TV Compose

These are the features that the team is currently thinking about and working on. This roadmap is shared with the best intent, however, it's not exhaustive and priorities might change as we learn more and continue to get feedback from you - our users.

In Focus items are being worked on soon and are likely to land in an upcoming stable release. Backlog items are planned but not likely to land soon.
