Let's talk about it.The latest build of Google's mobile operating system is finally upon us as of this week, and that means you're probably wondering what exactly it does. The good news is that Google put up a blog post more or less detailing exactly that. Here are all of the major new features in Android 15, which is now available on devices like the new Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL.\n SEE ALSO:\n \n Google could face Chrome and Android split as DOJ seeks breakup\n \n \n \nAndroid 15: Every big new featureAndroid 15 doesn't seem that major as big new OS updates go, but there are still a handful of useful-sounding additions here.Theft Detection Lock and Remote LockAndroid 15 brings in a couple of new anti-theft features that could be life-saving. First up is Theft Detection Lock, which uses AI to sense if someone has taken your phone with the intent of running, driving, or biking away. The phone should automatically lock in those scenarios, but if it doesn't, Remote Lock lets you lock it yourself from any other phone, just by calling your phone number and putting in a security code. Private spaceDo you have certain apps on your phone that you don't want other people to see or know about? Don't worry, no judgment here. Everyone does, whether they want to admit it or not. The good news is that Android 15 has something for you. You can create \"private spaces\" for designated apps, meaning you need to pass a security check (like a fingerprint scan) before you can see or open them. You can even hide the existence of the private space itself, for an extra layer of security.App pairingGoogle's blog post didn't forget about the other Android devices it makes, like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Pixel Tablet. Devices with bigger screens got a couple of other new toys to play with.The main one is app pairing, which lets you combine two apps into one app icon on your home screen. When you tap the icon, the two apps open at the same time in a multi-tasking view. The example Google gave in the blog post is combining Gmail and Google Drive, so you can drag files from one to the other. I'm sure you can think of other ways to use app pairing that are more exciting than that.Circle to Search...for musicAndroid has its own Shazam equivalent now. Google actually started gradually rolling this out in August, but it's worth noting anyway. Hold down the home button to activate Circle to Search like you normally would while a song is playing. There should be a music note icon you can tap, at which point your device will take a few seconds to listen to the song before telling you what it is. Not revolutionary by any means, but hey, it'll be useful.App archivingLast but not least, you can get rid of apps without losing any of your app data.If you want to create space in your phone's internal storage, you can choose to archive apps rather than fully delete them. This will free up space, but you'll keep all the app's data intact. If you feel like reinstalling the app, it'll be like it never left. This isn't particularly revolutionary (the Nintendo Switch can do this), but it is nice to have.","datePublished":"2024-10-16T16:04:03+00:00","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","url":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/","name":"Mashable","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/images\/mashable-logomark.png","width":2400,"height":2400},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mashable\/","https:\/\/twitter.com\/mashable","https:\/\/flipboard.com\/@Mashable","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/mashable\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/mashable"],"description":"Mashable

Let's talk about it.</p><p>The latest build of Google's mobile operating system is finally upon us as of this week, and that means you're probably wondering what exactly it <em>does</em>. The good news is that Google put up a <a href="https://blog.google/products/android/android-15/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body" title="(opens in a new window)">blog post</a> more or less detailing exactly that. </p><p>Here are all of the major new features in <a href="https://mashable.com/article/google-android-15-best-new-features" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Android 15</a>, which is now available on devices like the new <a href="https://mashable.com/review/google-pixel-9" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Pixel 9</a> and <a href="https://mashable.com/review/google-pixel-9-pro-xl" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Pixel 9 Pro XL</a>.</p><div class="flex mx-auto mt-8 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-lg leading-normal md:text-xl md:leading-7"> <span class="font-bold text-primary-400">SEE ALSO:</span> <a href="/article/google-antitrust-lawsuit-doj-suggests-breaking-up-chrome-android" class="flex items-center text-secondary-300"> <span class="ml-1">Google could face Chrome and Android split as DOJ seeks breakup</span> <svg class="ml-1 w-4 h-4 font-normal fill-current"><use href="/images/icons/spritemap.svg#sprite-arrow-right-thin"></use></svg> </a> </div> <h2>Android 15: Every big new feature</h2><p>Android 15 doesn't seem that major as big new OS updates go, but there are still a handful of useful-sounding additions here.</p><h3>Theft Detection Lock and Remote Lock</h3><p>Android 15 brings in a couple of new anti-theft features that could be life-saving. First up is <a href="https://mashable.com/article/google-android-15-launch-pixel" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Theft Detection Lock</a>, which uses AI to sense if someone has taken your phone with the intent of running, driving, or biking away. The phone <em>should</em> automatically lock in those scenarios, but if it doesn't, Remote Lock lets you lock it yourself from any other phone, just by calling your phone number and putting in a security code. </p><h3>Private space</h3><p>Do you have certain apps on your phone that you don't want other people to see or know about? Don't worry, no judgment here. Everyone does, whether they want to admit it or not. </p><section x-data="window.newsletter()" x-init="init()" class="relative p-8 my-12 mx-auto w-full max-w-3xl border md:p-12 md:my-16 border-secondary-300" data-ga-impression data-ga-category="newsletters" data-ga-module="incontent_nl_signup" data-ga-label="mashablelightspeed"> <div class="absolute px-2 font-sans text-lg font-bold leading-8 bg-white top-[-15px] left-[1.5rem] text-secondary-300 md:left-[2.5rem]"> Mashable Light Speed </div> <div x-show="!isSuccess" class="flex flex-col mx-auto font-sans"> <div class="font-bold leading-tight text-left md:leading-8 header-300">Want more out-of-this world tech, space and science stories?</div> <div class="mt-2 leading-tight text-left bg-white md:mt-0 md:leading-8 header-600">Sign up for Mashable's weekly Light Speed newsletter.</div> <form x-ref="subscribeForm" class="flex flex-col mt-4 sm:flex-row sm:gap-x-4 text-primary-400 border-primary-400 focus-within:text-secondary-300" data-initial-lists="mashablelightspeed" x-on:submit.prevent="submit()"> <input type="email" x-model="email" class="py-4 px-4 w-full text-base font-normal leading-5 placeholder-gray-600 text-gray-600 bg-white border border-gray-200 sm:w-2/3 md:w-3/4" placeholder="Enter Email" aria-label="Email"> <input x-bind:value="selectedListsValue()" type="hidden" name="lists" value=""> <input type="hidden" name="source" value="incontent"> <input type="hidden" name="courierList" value="Mashable On-Site - Incontent"> <button :disabled="isLoading" type="submit" class="py-4 px-1 mt-4 w-full text-lg font-bold leading-5 text-center text-white sm:mt-0 sm:w-1/3 md:w-1/4 bg-secondary-300 btn-secondary subtitle-1"> <span x-cloak x-show="isLoading">Loading...</span> <span x-show="!isLoading">Sign Me Up</span> </button> </form> <div x-cloak x-show="isError" class="flex flex-row px-4 mt-4 text-red"> <svg class="inline-block w-4 h-4 leading-4 fill-current"><use href="/images/icons/spritemap.svg#sprite-exclamation-square"></use></svg> <div x-text="error" class="ml-1 font-bold leading-4 text-left subtitle-2"></div> </div> <div class="mt-4 font-sans text-xs leading-normal text-left subtitle-1"> By signing up you agree to our <a class="underline" href="https://www.ziffdavis.com/terms-of-use" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="(opens in a new window)">Terms of Use</a> and <a class="underline" href="https://www.ziffdavis.com/ztg-privacy-policy" target="_blank" title="(opens in a new window)">Privacy Policy</a>. </div> </div> <div x-cloak x-show="isSuccess" class="py-1 mx-auto max-w-xl text-center"> <svg class="inline-block w-24 h-20 leading-4 fill-current"><use href="/images/icons/spritemap.svg#sprite-mailbox-regular"></use></svg> <div class="header-300">Thanks for signing up!</div> </div> </section> <p>The good news is that Android 15 has something for you. You can create "private spaces" for designated apps, meaning you need to pass a security check (like a fingerprint scan) before you can see or open them. You can even hide the existence of the private space itself, for an extra layer of security.</p><h3>App pairing</h3><p>Google's blog post didn't forget about the other Android devices it makes, like the <a href="https://mashable.com/review/google-pixel-9-pro-fold-1" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Pixel 9 Pro Fold</a> and <a href="https://mashable.com/review/google-pixel-tablet-review" target="_self" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body">Pixel Tablet</a>. Devices with bigger screens got a couple of other new toys to play with.</p><p>The main one is app pairing, which lets you combine two apps into one app icon on your home screen. When you tap the icon, the two apps open at the same time in a multi-tasking view. The example Google gave in the blog post is combining Gmail and Google Drive, so you can drag files from one to the other. I'm sure you can think of other ways to use app pairing that are more exciting than that.</p><h3>Circle to Search...for music</h3><p>Android has its own Shazam equivalent now. </p><div class="related-stories" data-ga-impression data-ga-module="related_stories" data-ga-element="related_stories_link" data-ga-item="title"> <div class="flex flex-row items-center"> <hr> <div class="px-4 mx-auto mt-0 w-full max-w-3xl font-sans text-2xl font-bold tracking-normal leading-normal text-center whitespace-nowrap shrink">Related Stories</div> <hr> </div> <ul> <li><a href="/article/google-android-15-launch-pixel" data-ga-click data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-action="related_stories" data-ga-position="1">Google's Android 15 uses AI to lock your phone when someone grabs it</a></li> <li><a href="/article/gmail-android-gemini-chat" data-ga-click data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-action="related_stories" data-ga-position="2">Gmail on Android now lets you ask Gemini to find that pesky lost email</a></li> <li><a href="/article/pixel-9-pro-xl-vs-iphone-15-pro-max-camera-test" data-ga-click data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-action="related_stories" data-ga-position="3">I blind-tested 7 iPhone stans on which takes better pics: Pixel 9 Pro XL or iPhone 15 Pro Max</a></li> </ul> </div> <p>Google actually started <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/googles-circle-to-search-can-identify-songs-on-android-now-heres-how-it-works/" target="_blank" data-ga-click="1" data-ga-label="$text" data-ga-item="text-link" data-ga-module="content_body" title="(opens in a new window)">gradually rolling this out</a> in August, but it's worth noting anyway. Hold down the home button to activate Circle to Search like you normally would while a song is playing. There should be a music note icon you can tap, at which point your device will take a few seconds to listen to the song before telling you what it is. </p><p>Not revolutionary by any means, but hey, it'll be useful.</p><h3>App archiving</h3><p>Last but not least, you can get rid of apps without losing any of your app data.</p><p>If you want to create space in your phone's internal storage, you can choose to archive apps rather than fully delete them. This will free up space, but you'll keep all the app's data intact. If you feel like reinstalling the app, it'll be like it never left. This isn't particularly revolutionary (the Nintendo Switch can do this), but it is nice to have.</p> <section class="mx-auto max-w-7xl"> <div class="flex flex-wrap mt-8 w-full font-sans subtitle-2 editor-content"> <p> <span class="mr-1.5 font-sans font-bold">Topics</span> <a class="underline-link hover:no-underline text-secondary-300 " href="https://mashable.com/category/android" aria-label="Navigate to the Android tag" data-ga-click data-ga-label="$text">Android</a> </p> </div> </section> </article> <div class="mx-auto max-w-3xl" data-spotim-module="conversation" data-spot-id="sp_oHE136vk" data-post-id="128188" data-post-url="/article/android-15-new-feature-full-list" data-article-tags="Tech"> </div> <div class="mx-auto max-w-3xl" data-spotim-module="pitc" data-spot-id="sp_oHE136vk" data-article-tags="Tech"></div> </section> <aside style="width:300px;" class="hidden flex-none 2xl:block" data-ga-module="content_rail"> <div class="sticky top-0 pt-2"> <div id="stickyVideoContainer"> </div> <div data-pogo="sidebar"></div> </div> </aside> </main> <div class="px-4 mx-auto w-full 2xl:px-0 full-width"> <div data-pogo="nativespotlight"></div> </div> <div class="justify-between items-stretch px-4 mx-auto lg:flex max-w-8xl"> <section class="flex-grow 2xl:pr-4" data-ga-module="content_body"> <section class="mx-auto max-w-3xl"> <section class="mx-auto max-w-8xl"> <hr class="my-8 mx-auto border border-gray-100 md:my-12"> <div class="mt-12 font-bold header-200 text-primary-400 md:!leading-6">Recommended For You</div> <div class="justify-center mt-8 w-full" data-module="content-list" data-ga-module="recommendation-recirc" data-ga-element="content-stripe" data-ga-action="content-stripe"> <div class="w-full" data-ga-position="1" > <div class="flex flex-row mx-auto mt-4 max-w-4xl font-sans md:flex-nowrap md:justify-around md:mx-0 md:mt-8"> <div class="flex flex-col flex-wrap mr-4 w-3/4 text-left md:mt-0 xl:relative items-around"> <a class="block text-lg font-semibold leading-6 md:text-xl text-primary-400 header-500" data-ga-click data-ga-item="title" data-ga-label="$text" href="/article/ios-18-2-new-features-full-list"> Check out the new AI features coming to iOS 18.2</a> <div class="hidden text-base md:block md:mt-1 md:leading-tight text-primary-400 font-regular">From Genmoji to updated organization on Mail.</div> <div class="flex flex-row mt-3 font-serif italic md:justify-start"> <time class="leading-tight font-regular subtitle-1" datetime="Thu, 24 Oct 2024 18:37:12 +0000"> 10/24/2024 </time> <div class="pl-3 leading-tight md:px-4 font-regular subtitle-1"> By <a href="/author/christianna-silva">Christianna Silva</a> </div> </div> </div> <a class="block w-1/4" data-ga-click data-ga-item="image" data-ga-label="Check out the new AI features coming to iOS 18.2" href="/article/ios-18-2-new-features-full-list"> <div class="hidden border border-gray-100 md:block"> <img class="w-full" src="https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/articles/01haweFvGZgHyilk9Fi7Kp7/hero-image.fill.size_220x133.v1729793207.jpg" alt="Gold iPad and Xiaomi Redmi 12 Sky Blue color.
