Android 15 is Now Available for Pixel

| Updated on 17 October 2024

Google is finally launching the Android 15 stable version for all Pixel devices. This new update brings new privacy features, security tools, and improvements for foldables and tablets. 

Android 15 was first launched through the Android Open Source Project. However, it wasn’t available for Pixel devices or any other major Android devices. Finally, Google announced that they are bringing Android 15 to Pixel devices. 

Many new features in Android 15 will come in handy for new users. One such feature is the ability to make a “Private Space” for apps you might want to keep hidden from other people who can access your device. The apps you put in the Private Space won’t show in the recent apps, notifications, or settings. If you want to access the private space, you’ll have to provide additional authentication. You can even hide the existence of private space from view on your phone. 

For foldable and tablets, the new Android 15 will let users pin and unpin the taskbar so they can choose to have somewhat easier access to apps. If a user uses certain apps side by side, they can also set up an app pairing and access that pairing from one icon. 

With Android 15, Google also launched the Theft Detection Lock, which lets your phone automatically lock itself if it detects that it has been stolen. Most Android devices will get this feature. Google is also adding a feature called remote lock that allows users to lock their device using another Android phone, your phone number, and a “simple security check.” Google also says devices running Android 10 or above will also get this feature. 

Along with this, Google is also planning to roll out a new Pixel feature drop for October that includes Night Sight for Instagram for taking low-light photos.
