Android 15已面向开发者推出，将陆续支持Pixel手机及其他品牌。该系统带来诸多新功能，如支持单触式密码、防盗检测等，还包括一些应用的更新和新功能的拓展。

🎈Android 15已在Android开源项目中可用，Pixel手机将在未来几周获得支持，其他品牌设备则需等待数月。此系统着重调整应用和设备间的交互方式，后续将支持单触式密码、防盗检测、大屏设备改进的多任务处理及限制某些应用访问的功能。

📣Android 15的一些功能包括更新屏幕阅读器TalkBack，它与Google的Gemini AI助手集成，可提供手机图像的音频描述。此外，Circle to Search新增类似Shazam的功能，可帮助识别歌曲。

🌎Google将地震警报扩展到美国全境及六个地区。在没有传统地震仪警报系统的地区，用户可通过Android设备的加速度计数据接收地震通知。同时，Android设备还将有Chrome朗读网页及Wear OS 5中离线谷歌地图的支持功能。

Android 15 has officially arrived — for developers, at least. Google’s next-gen operating system is available in the Android Open Source Project, with support for Pixel phones due to roll out in the coming weeks. You’ll have to wait a little longer if you have a compatible device from Samsung, Motorola, OnePlus, Nothing, or other brands, while Google describes the window for Android 15 coming to those phones as within the “coming months.”

While Apple typically rolls out major changes tied directly to each new version of iOS, Google’s Android updates often focus on tweaking the underlying ways apps and devices interact with each other. Down the line, devices with Android 15 will support single-tap passkeys, theft detection, improved multitasking for large-screen devices, and the ability to limit access to certain apps.

Some of the features launching with the system include an update to Android’s screen reader, TalkBack, which Google highlighted at I/O earlier this year. The utility will now have an integration with Google’s Gemini AI assistant to provide audio descriptions of images you’re looking at on your phone.

Google is also expanding its Circle to Search feature with a new Shazam-like ability to help you identify songs. After testing the feature over the past several weeks, Google will now let you select a music button to get the name, artist, and YouTube video associated with a song — whether it’s playing from a video you’re watching or grocery store speakers.

Additionally, Google is expanding earthquake alerts to all of the US and six of its territories. The company already partners with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and its ShakeAlert system to offer warnings in California, Oregon, and Washington using readings from traditional seismometers.

But now, users in states without access to the ShakeAlert system can receive earthquake notifications based on data from their Android device’s accelerometer. If many devices in an area detect vibration, Google says its Android Earthquake Alerts analyze “the crowdsourced data to determine if an earthquake is occurring.” Google has already rolled out this feature in nearly 100 countries.

Some other features coming to Android devices include a way for Chrome to read webpages aloud as well as support for offline Google Maps in Wear OS 5.
