In August 2022 he was barely released Android 13Only a little more than six months have passed since its official launch and by chance we now even know it by the code name of Android 15: Vanilla Ice Cream.
Just a couple of weeks ago we shared everything we knew about Android 14, whose codename is Upside Down Cake and whose first beta has not even been revealed.
There are some interesting details in general, but it is expected that this mobile operating system will not be released to the public until the final stretch of this year 2023.
Under such a scenario, the situation of this leak of the code name of Android 15 is obvious: there are too many months, years, left for the platform to go on the market but from now on we already know what it would be called.
This has some implications for users, but in reality it’s almost anecdotal, especially considering how the name of the platform ended up leaking.
Android 15 Vanilla Ice Cream leaked its name in an almost innocent way
It turns out that the independent journalist Mishaal Rahman through his personal Twitter account ended up revealing that the framework Google tests all over the place these days would include references to the name “Vanilla Ice Cream”.
This appellation, if the information contained there is analyzed, we can easily arrive at the conclusion that it is the code name of Android 15. But in reality it would not represent a leak too early:

“If you’re thinking this is *really* early to tell, it really isn’t. There will always be ideas/concepts for features that Google wants to implement, but there isn’t enough time to add it to the current version, so they already plan ahead for the next system or scrap it.”
This is what Rahman explains about the workflow within the company where, at this point, they would be preparing everything to launch Android 14 at the end of August 2023. At the same time, they began to write down some ideas of what which should be integrated as a novelty in Android 15 that will not reach users until the end of 2024.
In the end it is confirmed that the tradition of using names of desserts is maintained, where in the past they have already used the nicknames of Cupcake, Donut, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, Lollipop, Marshmallow, KitKat and Oreo.
It will be interesting to know what’s new later.
