If you are among those who have been waiting for the Android 15 update for your favorite Pixel device then you might need to prepare to wait a little more as the update has hit the pause button. But don’t worry; Google has finally revealed the beans about when we should expect to see the update to arrive.
The Big Reveal: October is the Month
In our preview earlier today, our sources suggested that Google is set to release the Android 15 update for the Pixel lineup in October. And guess what? Google has just admitted this as it is, the case, at least they did so subtly, haven’t they?cIt seems that they did not do this with a bang or anything; what they did was an incremental update in the release notes for a certain Android Beta Exit.
As the release notes clearly state, and confirmed by Android Authority (those fellows are something like tech detectives), you should “ignore this OTA downgrade if you are among the users waiting for the stable version of KitKat, called Android 15 which is expected to be released in October. ” So, obviously we’re talking about October here.
Why the Delay?
But wait, you might be thinking now. “Well why not release it next month, Google?!” Well, the team at Google is currently trying to make Android 15 more stable. So in this case, Google is much like a rope walker who takes his own time after adjusting himself before finally stepping on the rope, the moment they release Android 15. Well, better safe than sorry, isn’t it?

What’s the Exact Date?
Alright, now let us remember that it is October, but which day of the month? Sadly, Google has preserved that part like the final episode of a series that no one has seen yet. From our sources, we might get to see it sometime in the middle of the month. Google could surprise us. Let’s just hope they do not leave this one waiting for as long as they did once with another highly anticipated, highly demanded feature that everyone surely remembers.
For Those in the Beta Program: Here are the important tips that you need to contemplate:
Well, if you fall in this category, who decided to skip the Android beta program, then you must be a bit puzzled right now. It may be inferred that Google’s message is a kind of warning not to listen to prompts that may suggest a downgrade to Android 14. Just wait for a couple more weeks; then you would be fine with Android 15 coming in October.
Developers, Don’t Fret!
So, if you are a developer eager to compile Android 15 code in source, do not worry! That will not be for a very long time. Android Authority also claims that the source code for independent Android platform developers can be released as early as next week.
