Google has started preparing for developing Android 15. The company has already rolled out the first developer preview of Android 15 back in February, where it gave some clues about new features that will include privacy sandbox, health connect, partial screen sharing, and many more. Now, moving forward, it has released the second developer preview, which will provide a bunch of new features. Let’s explore them all.
Android 15 DP2: What’s new?
As the name suggests, Android Developer Preview generally provides features in raw form, so app or software developers can maintain their applications according to the upcoming Android version. Now with the second Android 15 Preview,Google has introduced some new features like satellite support, smoother NFC experiences, PDF improvements, and automatic language switching refinements.
Along with this, the new software also brings some more innovations, such as cover screen support, detailed app size information, screen recording detection, and improved Do Not Disturb rules. Along with this, the update also brings some resolution to previously addressed issues.
With the bunch of new features, the company has also resolved some issues that have been reported by developers, such as the Google Play Store app crashing repeatedly. It has fixed an issue where the package manager crashes when installing an app from unknown sources, the Android Intelligence app, and it has also addressed the issue with the work profile apps.
