Mountain View, March 27, 2025 — Google is reportedly shifting its Android development strategy by moving away from its traditional open-source approach. Future versions of Android may be developed privately, allowing Google to enhance security, control software updates, and better compete with Apple’s ecosystem.
While an open-source version may still be available, core development is expected to take place internally before public release. Experts believe this shift could impact Android’s openness but improve user experience, security, and performance.
