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.
- Depending on your Android device, you may find either of these two options:
-
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.”
