Android 11 still the most popular and most used version of Android, Google makes known

TB
Android 11



Google updated its chart showing the percentage of Android devices running different versions of the Android system, Android 12 did not appear, probably because its usage rate is really not high, and it is still dominated by Android 11 leading the list.


Google has often updated its pie chart to show the share of each Android version, but the data didn’t help Google much because people found Apple's new version of iOS to be popular faster. So Google stopped updating this chart last year and removed it.


9to5Google found that Google has recently quietly hidden the Android distribution map in an unimportant location, but all the information can be seen in Android Studio. We can better understand the percentage of devices currently running a specific Android version or newer.

The latest distribution data for 2022 shows that devices with Android 11 and higher versions occupy the largest share of the Android market with a 28.3% share. Considering that most new phones are now pre-installed with the latest Android 12, especially mid-range devices from Samsung and domestic manufacturers, this data does not seem to be too surprising.

As can be seen from the figure, Android 10 currently lags behind Android 11 with a share of 23.9%; the share of older versions of Android systems also shows a downward trend. The lack of Android 12 data in this chart may be related to its intended purpose for Android developers.


According to reports, the Android Studio chart is not intended as a guide for which Android APIs your app should target (the Play Store handles this with its minimum API requirements), but rather help developers decide which versions of Android should be supported.


Through this chart, developers can further understand the proportion of potential customers that may be lost by not supporting older versions of Android.
