While several Android 17-eligible devices are yet to receive the update, the Android 18 rumour mill has already started churning. From Android 18’s features and release timeline to its codename and eligible devices that will eventually rock it, here’s everything we know about Google’s next big OS update.
What Is Android 18 Called?
Android 18 doesn’t have a name yet. But that will likely change as we move through the release cycle.
Even though Google has moved away from publicly branding Android after well-known delicacies, internally, Google’s sweet-tooth naming tradition persists.

If previous Android versions are anything to go by, we can expect Google to codename it with the name of a dessert.
In the past two years, Android codenames have been moving in alphabetical order. Android 16 was called Baklava (B) and Android 17 was called Cinnamon Bun (C). With “D” next in the pecking order, could we expect Android 18 to be called Dhudhi Halwa (pudding) or perhaps a Dirt Cake? Time will tell.
