Google May Skip Android 15 for TV, Jumping Straight to Android 16
While many Android phones have updated to Android 15, the situation is different for Android TVs. It's increasingly likely Google will bypass Android 15 entirely for Google TV and Android TV devices, moving directly to Android 16.
Evidence points to this: the upcoming Google I/O developer conference schedule specifically mentions preparations for "Android 16 for TV," while there's been a complete absence of any Android TV 15 announcements. Unlike previous years where Android TV updates largely mirrored mobile releases, this pattern was disrupted with Android TV 13 (which never reached consumers) and now the apparent omission of Android TV 15. The lack of even a developer preview for Android TV 15 strongly suggests Google's focus is solely on Android 16.

This isn't entirely unexpected. Previous reports indicated Google's internal decision to forgo Android TV 15. This move could be attributed to Google's accelerated release of Android 16 this year, or a strategic shift to a bi-yearly update cycle for Android TV. A bi-yearly schedule would mean the next major update, Android TV 18, would arrive in 2027. This makes sense considering the infrequent upgrade cycle of TVs; they often remain in use for many years.
We await details on Android TV 16, but for now, Android TV users will need to exercise further patience.

Block Third-Party Trackers in Android Apps from Spying on Your Activity and Selling Your Data Apr 27, 2025 am 09:14 AMDuckDuckGo launches beta version of app tracking protection to help you prevent apps from tracking your activity. This feature utilizes Android's local VPN connection protocol to monitor network activity and intercept when the application tries to send data to third-party services. While Apple has implemented App Tracking Transparency (ATT) in iOS 14.5, Google has not implemented its Privacy Sandbox, announced earlier this year, which will include similar App Tracking Protection. Therefore, third-party applications like DuckDuckGo are particularly important. Install or update DuckDuckGo If you have not installed D
How to Check Your Android Security Patch Level to See if You're Protected Against the Latest Vulnerabilities Apr 27, 2025 am 09:04 AMMany potential vulnerabilities are found in the Android system every month, and Android is no exception. The problem is that many Android devices don't have timely updates – but now many devices get regular monthly security patches that can at least make up for these vulnerabilities. If you want to protect against the latest dangerous hacks, you need to install the latest security patch level. Google releases these patches and a report on changes every month, but they can only guarantee that updates will be sent to their own Pixel devices. With all other phones, you may not receive security patches in time, but there is at least one way to check. Jump to Description: Samsung | Google/Native Android | OnePlus | LG Check you
