Android 15 continues our mission of building a private and secure platform that helps improve your productivity while giving you new capabilities to produce beautiful apps, superior media and camera experiences, and an intuitive user experience, particularly on tablets and foldables.

The Android 15 platform includes changes that may affect your app. Test and modify your app as needed.
Android 15 introduces great new features and APIs for developers.
