We’re releasing the first Developer Preview of Android 15 today so you, our developers, can collaborate with us to build a better Android.
Android 15 continues our work to build a platform that helps improve your productivity while giving you new capabilities to produce superior media experiences, minimize battery impact, maximize smooth app performance, and protect user privacy and security all on the most diverse lineup of devices out there.

This being the first Android 15 Developer Preview, the tentpole features it would contain are not here yet. We’re looking at a lot of under-the-hood features most users will never actively notice, but are still very welcome. The Privacy Sandbox has been updated, it adds Health Connect, a secure place to store health data, partial screen sharing, and a lot more.
We can’t go another year without the ability to prevent apps abusing the text selection menu. “Search with Amazon” is absolutely not acceptable, especially when it’s before some of the key text operations.
Fingers crossed a new permission gets added.
