Google’s Android versions in the past were known by their dessert names. It all started with Android 1.5, which was nicknamed Cupcake, but then, unfortunately, Google dropped the dessert naming scheme years later with Android 9.

However, behind the scene, Google still internally has dessert codenames for every Android version. For example: the Android 13 is called Tiramisu and the Android 14 is being codenamed Upside down cake.

Now, Mishal Rahman has discovered the codename for the upcoming Android 15 V. The Android version will be internally called ‘Vanilla Ice Cream’.

Google has announced that it will stop supporting Android KitKat in its new updates from August 2023. Android KitKat was first released in 2013 and will lose support just before its tenth anniversary. 

Explaining the rationality behind this move, Google said that it has introduced many new improvements and features for Android and many of these improvements are not available on KitKat. In addition to this, only one percent of total devices on Android KitKat are active currently.  

From August, Play Services will stop working with KitKat devices as Google will end support for Android 4.4 (API levels 19 & 20) in version 23.30.99 and later.

“The Android KitKat (KK) platform was first released ~10 years ago and since then, we’ve introduced many innovative improvements and features for Android, which are unavailable on KK. As of July 2023, the active device count on KK is below 1% as more and more users update to the latest Android versions,” Google said in a statement. 

“Therefore, we are no longer supporting KK in future releases of Google Play services. KK devices will not receive versions of the Play Services APK beyond 23.30.99”, Google adds. 

For the unversed, even when Android devices no longer get OS updates every month, Google Play services keep getting new versions for a long period of time as they provide many new features to app developers and Google’s own apps.

Back in 2013, Android added many important features in KitKat such as immersive full-screen mode, Hands-free Google Now with a Full-screen widget, Native printer support, Subtitles and closed captioning support in the video player, Better dialer with quick dial and smarter caller ID, Emoji on the Google keyboard, and a Google Now page on the home screen.

Google last stopped Play services support for Android Jelly Bean (API level 16-18) in 2021 and said that keeping support for old releases takes more time for developers and testers to work on new features that need special handling.

Meanwhile, mobile communication technology will soon have a big improvement as Android 14 will reportedly support SMS via satellite feature on mobile phones soon.

Based on a tweet by the Pixel #TeamPixel Twitter account, users will likely get satellite SMS support with Android 14 soon, reports Phone Arena.

“Satellite SMS, Android 14,” it tweeted.

Users will be able to use their devices to send and receive SMS messages once the update is released, even in regions where cellular coverage is limited or unavailable.

एंड्रॉइड यूजर्स के लिए जरूरी खबर है। टेक जाइंट Google ने एंड्रॉइड 4.4 किटकैट (Android 4.4 KitKat) वर्जन के लिए सपोर्ट बंद करने का ऐलान कर दिया है। साधारण शब्दों में कहें तो इस वर्जन पर काम करने वाले स्मार्टफोन को गूगल की सेवाएं और अपडेट नहीं मिलेगा। यूजर्स इन डिवाइस पर किसी भी ऐप का उपयोग नहीं कर पाएंगे। बता दें कि गूगल समय-समय पर नए एंड्रॉइड वर्जन लाता रहता है और उन वर्जन को बंद कर देता है, जो काफी पुराने हो चुके हैं।

1 अगस्त से बेकार हो जाएंगे ये स्मार्टफोन

जीएसएम एरिना ने अपनी रिपोर्ट में गूगल के डेवलपर ब्लॉगपोस्ट का हवाला देते हुए बताया कि अगस्त की शुरुआत में एंड्रॉइड 4.4 किकैट को सपोर्ट मिलना बंद हो जाएगा। अगर आपका स्मार्टफोन किटकैट या उससे पहले के एंड्रॉइड वर्जन पर काम करता है, तो उसे गूगल का सपोर्ट नहीं मिलेगा। इसका मतलब है कि डिवाइस 1 अगस्त से बेकार हो जाएंगे।

मीडिया रिपोर्ट में आगे बताया गया कि 1 प्रतिशत एंड्रॉइड स्मार्टफोन और टैबलेट किटकैट ऑपरेटिंग सिस्टम पर काम करते हैं। अगले महीने से इन गैजेट्स को गूगल का सपोर्ट नहीं मिलेगा।

OS नहीं रहेगा सुरक्षित

गूगल सपोर्ट बंद होने से एंड्रॉइड 4.4 किटकैट ओएस बिल्कुल भी सुरक्षित नहीं रहेगा। ऐसे में डिवाइस हैक होने और पर्सनल डिटेल चोरी होने की संभावना बढ़ जाएगी।

2013 में लॉन्च हुआ था Android KitKat

टेक्नोलॉजी कंपनी गूगल ने साल 2013 में एंड्रॉइड किटकैट ऑपरेटिंग सिस्टम को लॉन्च किया था। इस ओएस में वायरलेस प्रिंटिंग, फास्टर मल्टी-टास्किंग, एन्हांस्ड NFC और बेहतर कनेक्टिविटी का सपोर्ट दिया गया था। इससे पहले कंपनी ने Android 4.1, 4.2 और 4.3 Jelly Bean ऑपरेटिंग सिस्टम को बंद किया था।

Android 14 बीटा वर्जन

याद दिला दें कि गूगल ने इस साल अप्रैल में अपने लेटेस्ट Android 14 का बीटा वर्जन रिलीज किया था। इस अपडेट में बेहतर प्राइवेसी और स्मूथ सिस्टम नेविगेशन का सपोर्ट दिया गया है। यूजर्स अपनी उंगली को स्क्रीन के किनारे से स्लाइड करके पिछले ऐप पर वापस आ सकते हैं। इसके अलावा, ओएस में कस्टम एक्शन जोड़ने के साथ शेयरशीट को सुधारा गया है।

इस बीटा अपडेट में एडवांस्ड लैंग्वेज सेटिंग मिलती है। यूजर अपनी पसंद के हिसाब से भाषा को सेट कर सकते हैं। इसके साथ ही प्राइवेसी को भी अपग्रेड किया गया है। उम्मीद है कि एंड्रॉइड 14 के स्टेबल वर्जन को आम यूजर्स के लिए अगले महीने रिलीज किया जाएगा।
