In the new major release, third-party SMS and MMS apps will be able to access satellite calling APIs, but RCS-enhanced messaging will still be limited to “pre-installed” apps. This also confirms that Android 15 will not allow third-party apps downloaded from the Play Store near RCS.
Android 15 will now more efficiently handle the smaller external displays of various 'flip' and 'fold' clamshell-style phones, which don't play well with regular Android apps in all situations. App developers can advertise a feature that allows their apps to appear on the small cover screens of supported flip devices.
The second Android 15 Developer Preview is now available for the Pixel 6, 7, 8, Fold, and Pixel Tablet, but the unstable and buggy developer builds are aimed more at app developers. We can likely expect more exciting announcements at Google I/O on May 14. According to the shared timeline, the beta phase starts in April as usual, and the system could reach platform stability around June, when developers can start creating apps for Android 15, as more significant changes to the APIs are not expected after that. . The final version is scheduled to be released in the fall.
