Google has released the first beta version of Android 15, which includes several new functions. For the most part, they will be of interest to developers.
The first beta of Android 15 will run on devices from the Pixel 5a to the latest Pixel 8 series, including the Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet. This update provides more information about how larger displays (foldable and tablet) work with apps. Google says the software's edge-to-edge app capabilities are enabled by default. This will benefit developers as they no longer need to explicitly tell the application to enable such features. In addition, Google Material 3 compositions are available to further assist developers.
In addition, Android 15 gets additional support for app archiving. Google says the first beta will feature OS-level support for archiving and unzipping apps that aren't in use, to benefit “all app stores.” The OS will remove large API elements and cached files, but leave user data. In this case, users will see the application remain on their device's launcher, along with an icon indicating its “archived” state.
In Android 15, special attention is paid to improving security. This version introduces the Key management feature for end-to-end E2EE encryption. The beta version offers this OS-level key management for the Contact Keys API. In turn, this will allow users to easily manage and check other user's contact information.
New inclusivity features in Android 15 include TalkBack support for Braille displays. The software is only compatible with Braille displays that use the HID standard via USB and secure Bluetooth.
