Android 13’s dessert codename gets revealed

The upcoming Android 12 release and its betas, getting us excited for the new version of Google’s OS, have been making the news recently. However, now, there’s some information about the Android coming next year, Android 13. Google seems to have decided on an internal name for it, reports XDA-Developers.

Android 13 will reportedly carry the name “Tiramisu”

A new entry on the AOSP Gerrit revealed the codename Android 13 will reportedly be internally known with, and it is Tiramisu. Previously, it seems the version had the letter “T” assigned to it, with no codename revealed, but now, the T will be changed to Tiramisu.

This is the first time the internal codename of the next Android version comes to light. However, keep in mind the public name of the OS version will be Android 13, as Google no longer follows its strategy of naming Android version after desserts.

However, the dessert names have not been completely abandoned and they continue to be used internally.
