Second Developer Preview for Android 15 Released, Introduces Long-Awaited Satellite Connectivity

This update also brings improvements to contactless payments, multi-language recognition, volume consistency, and interaction with PDFs via apps. These developer-focused betas are a testing ground for features that will likely be included in the final public release later this year. The preview addresses some nuisances and security concerns experienced by Android users, such as making apps more aware of why some services might be unavailable when devices are using a satellite connection. Android 15 will also introduce screen recording detection for apps, enabling them to notify users if their activity is being recorded. The reliability of one-tap contactless payments is being improved for apps that use NFC. The multi-language audio recognition introduced in Android 14 is being refined to avoid words being dropped when the user switches between languages. Google is also making substantial improvements to PDF features in apps, adding support for password-protected files, annotations, form editing, searching, and selection with copy.
