The upcoming Google‘s Android update, codenamed “Vanilla Ice Cream”, has been revealed through a series of code changes in Android’s Trade Federation (Tradefed/TF), as reported by Mishaal Rahman tipped by TeamB58. Though the dessert-themed codename has no significant meaning, it is a fun little tradition since the early days of Android.
Although there are no details about what to expect with the Android update set to arrive sometime in 2024, Rahman states that Google is always looking ahead and working on new enhancements and features.
If these features don’t make it into the current build, there is always a chance that they might be pushed to a later update or not even make it into the OS at all. As such, Android users will have to wait and see what new features and enhancements “Vanilla Ice Cream” will bring.
The code changes in Tradefed indicate that Android’s testing framework has been updated with a new version that makes direct reference to Android 15’s codename. However, this does not give us much insight into what we can expect from the update.
As we eagerly anticipate ‘Vanilla Ice Cream’, we are just beginning to get a taste of Android 14‘s ‘Upside Down Cake’. The first preview for this update was released less than a month ago, and it includes features like scrolling screenshots, redesigned notifications, and improved privacy settings.
Overall, the reveal of ‘Vanilla Ice Cream’ is a reminder of Android’s tradition of using dessert-themed codenames for its updates, and it generates excitement among Android users who are curious about what new features and improvements the update will bring. With Android constantly working to improve its operating system, users can look forward to the future of mobile technology.
