Android 13 reaches platform stability with roll out of beta three

Android 13 reaches platform stability with roll out of beta three



We are approaching the launch of Android 13.

Google announced on Wednesday that the third beta of Android 13 is beginning to roll out. The update is an important one for Android 13 developers and future users: the release is considered platform stability, meaning that all APIs and platform behaviors are completed. 

In other words, developers can build applications with confidence that there will be more changes to the APIs they use to integrate the new features in Android 13. Google is asking developers to finish compatibility testing and release app updates before the final release. 

The update arrives right on schedule, with Google's release schedule for Android 13 showing a platform stability statement in June followed by another one in July-after which we expect to see a final release. 

Android 13 is currently available through Google's beta program for Pixel users, along with a few devices from various manufacturing partners. If you own a Pixel phone and want to test the latest Android software now that it is further along in development, you can follow the steps given in this post. 

Google has added many new features to Android 13, including new privacy features along with changes to the interface. As far as privacy changes go, there are more subtle permissions for the app to access your files, photos, or videos, for example.
