Google has officially released Android 17 Beta 4, taking another step in the Android 17 release cycle. This release confirms the key features we\u2019ll see in the Android 17 stable update. We\u2019ve also gotten our hands on Android 17 QPR betas and Android 16 QPR3 stable (with\u00a0the March Pixel Drop), which give us a peek at unreleased features destined for the future. Here\u2019s what we know so far about the next big platform update for Android!<\/p>\n

Android 17: Name<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Google used to name Android versions with dessert codenames, but it abandoned that tradition with the release of Android 10, sticking to only the version number for all future releases. Consequently, Android 17 will be known simply as \u201cAndroid 17,\u201d with no dessert codename officially used for public-facing branding.<\/p>\n

However, Google still uses the dessert codename internally. Android 15\u2019s codename was Vanilla Ice Cream, while Android 16 jumped all the way back to \u201cB\u201d with Baklava. Google has\u00a0chosen\u00a0\u201cCinnamon Bun\u201d as the dessert codename for Android 17<\/span>. Before the official reveal, a trusted source within Google had shared evidence with us that clearly shows the company using \u201cCinnamonBun\u201d as the internal codename for API level 37.0, i.e., for Android 17. Code within the Android Canary release had also confirmed the Cinnamon Bun dessert codename.<\/p>\n

A cinnamon bun \u2014 also called a cinnamon roll or swirl \u2014 is a sweet, baked pastry made with rolled dough, filled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, and often topped with glaze or icing. It\u2019s a popular dessert in northern Europe and North America, with several well-known chains specializing in its creation.<\/p>\n

Android 17: Easter Egg<\/h2>\n

With the release of Android 17 Beta 4, we finally get to see the Android 17 Easter egg. Like Easter eggs in previous Android releases, this one can be accessed by going to\u00a0Settings About phone<\/strong> and tapping \u201c<\/strong><\/span>Android Version\u201d<\/strong> ten times.<\/p>\n
