This week, Google released Android 15 Beta 4, the final beta version of its new mobile operating system. The next release should be a stable version of Android 15, but this will happen later. At this stage, developers have the opportunity to test their products for compatibility with an OS that is as close as possible to the one that will be installed on user devices.

The Android 15 Beta 4 description only lists one change that requires action from third-party app developers. They need to remove the old emoji display system that used PNG files. Google is offering three different ways for developers to do this for those still using the outdated emoji library in their products.
In addition to this, Google recalled the key features of the new OS, probably so that developers do not forget to implement them in their applications:
The official release of Android 15 should take place in a few weeks, but the distribution of the platform to compatible user devices will most likely take months. Owners of branded Google Pixel smartphones should be among the first to receive the new OS. According to reports, Android 15 is supported on the company’s smartphones starting with Pixel 6.
