What’s New in Android’s August 2025 Google System Updates

 

Google has rolled out its August 2025 System Updates, bringing a wave of improvements across Android phones, tablets, Wear OS, Google/Android TV, Auto, and even PCs. These updates focus on better connectivity, smoother storage management, enhanced security, and developer-friendly tools — but as always, not every feature will be immediately available to all users. Some updates may take weeks (or even months) to fully roll out.

Which Apps Are Covered?

The “Google System” updates apply to first-party apps and services such as:

• Adaptive Connectivity Services
• Android System Intelligence
• Android System Key Verifier
• Android System SafetyCore
• Android TV Core Services
• Android WebView
• Device Health Services
• Settings Services
• Google Play Store
• Google Play system update

These core services are quietly updated in the background but have a big impact on how your device performs every day.
