  • Google has updated its Android distribution numbers.
  • The latest statistics show that Android 13 has jumped up the ladder since May and now has the highest market share.
  • You’d think the second most popular Android version would be Android 12, but that’s not the case.

Google has updated its Android version distribution numbers and we now know which is the most popular Android operating system right now. As of October 1, just a few days before Android 14 went official, Google recorded that Android 13 has the highest install base (22.4%) of all Android devices worldwide (h/t GizChina). That’s quite a leap for the OS, which in May, had an install base of just 15%.
