For those who are a longtime user of the Android system, or just an enthusiast in the world of mobile operating systems, you know that Google, the manufacturer of the android system, has always chosen to use candy names in the different versions of its system. And with the Android 12 version it was no different!

The name of version 12 of Android is “Snow Cone”, the same name as a delicious frozen dessert. The name was released by the system manufacturer to Google on 10/4/2021 by Dave Burke, vice president of Android system engineering on his Twitter account.


The name of the Android 12 version was released when the company made it available along with the system, whose update brings many changes in appearance due to the new interface called Material You, which is able to customize the system colors according to the wallpaper colors applied. There are also notable changes to system widgets.
