Android 15 Beta 3 is finally available and marks an important milestone: Platform Stability. What does it mean? What new features are included?
We have been following the first releases closely since the beginning of the year Android 15 by Google. On many occasions we have suggested that you don’t install early versions unless you’re prepared to deal with a ton of bugs, crashes, and other issues. Today, however, we can tell you with certainty that the situation has changed. Google has launched the first version of Android 15 that you may want to install, as long as you are willing to be an early adopter and deal with the typical problems of a beta version.
Android 15 Beta 3 marks an important milestone known as Platform Stability. This means that Android 15 is now ready for use: all new features and major changes to the operating system have been implemented. From now on, Google will focus exclusively on eliminating problems, improving stability and performance. To be clear, there will still be bugs. But since Google won’t be introducing any new features, the mobile operating system should be stable enough for everyday use, albeit with a few minor issues here and there.
One of the new features of Android 15 Beta 3 is the support for access keys in one step. The new feature allows developers to easily incorporate biometric security (fingerprint or, on supported devices, Face Unlock) for access to their apps. Google had already talked about this feature at Google I/O 2024, but it is now fully integrated into Android 15.
In the coming days, we will discover many more features “secret” Of Android 15. These are elements that Google hasn’t explicitly talked about. For example, we now know that Android 15 will automatically erase your saved fingerprint and facial recognition data, prompting you to redo it if you have any problems using it. A novelty that emerged only after careful exploration of the new functions.
