Creation of Android 13

15 August 2022

Android 13, internally codenamed Tiramisu, is the thirteenth major version of Google's mobile operating system, released to Pixel phones in August 2022. It added more privacy controls, including a permission for apps to send notifications and a photo picker which lets people share chosen images without giving an app access to the whole library. It brought themed icons that follow the colour scheme of the wallpaper, a language setting for each app and improvements to Bluetooth audio and tablet and foldable screens. Other manufacturers then released their own versions during the following months.
