How to find the Version of your Android phone

To find out the version of the Android operating system running on your phone or tablet, follow these simple steps:

• Open your Android’s Settings:

  • Locate the Settings app, which typically has a gear-shaped icon, in your app list.

• Navigate to “About phone” or “About device”:

  • Depending on your Android device, you may find either of these two options:
    • About phone
    • About device
  • If you don’t see either option directly, tap System first.

• Select “Software Information” or “Android Version”:

  • The exact option name may vary based on your device.
  • On some Androids, you might not need to tap “Software Information” or “Android Version.” Instead, the version will be displayed directly on the About screen.

• Locate the “Android version” section:

  • You’ll see the version number, such as “Android 11,” beneath or beside “Android version.”
