Let's talk about something that not only sounds exciting, but actually is! It turns out Google has been working on Android's ART compiler to make your apps launch like lightning.
Yes, you heard that right, those apps you love could open up to 30% faster.
But wait, before we dive into this exciting news, let me tell you that this is only possible starting with Android 12, so make sure you have an updated Android phone to take advantage of this new feature.
What the Heck is the Android ART Compiler?
It's sort of like the master mechanic behind your Android phone. Imagine your phone is a race car and apps are the engines. ART is that mechanic who tunes and tunes the engines to make your vehicle go faster. Until recently, ART did this right when you started your car. But now, it's learned new tricks and does it before you even get in.
Result: you have a race car ready to win!
Google's Master Plan
Did you know that Google has been making Android smarter for years? They realized you don't need a completely new version of Android to improve your experience. Instead, they've been working on modular pieces that can be updated independently.
Remember those LEGO building games? Well, Google has been playing with Android in the same way.
The Latest Update of ART and its Magic
Now we get to the exciting part. Google has made some changes to ART that could make your favorite apps open lightning fast.
In some tests, the previous version of ART (ART 13) managed to reduce app launch times by 30%. That means your apps will launch faster than you can blink!
Now, ART 14 is Google's latest gem, and it's designed to improve app loading times without requiring developers to do any technical tricks. This means apps will launch even faster without you having to do anything.
Isn't that great?
But when will we be able to get our hands on ART 14?
Well, from what we know, it's on the way and will be arriving in the coming months for devices running Android 12 or later. It'll also debut on Android 14, and will soon be available on Android Go. So these improvements to the ART compiler will translate into a faster, smoother experience across all your favorite apps.
And while you wait for it to arrive, prepare your phone so it can take advantage of all this new technology by upgrading to your favorite, most up-to-date Android phone model.
