The tradition of the names of sweets continues:
It is a consolidated tradition that Google assigns its operating systems the name of a dessert, continuing from time to time in alphabetical order. Even with Android 14 it will be no exception and will follow tradition.
In the past we have also witnessed marketing operations to exploit this tradition, with Google adding the names of some famous sweets such as KitKat and Oreo to their operating systems.
The biggest difficulties in carrying on this tradition, Google met with the letter Q, on the occasion of the launch of Android 10: for that year, the Mountain View giant had to settle for the Queen's Cake but from that moment on sweets have taken a back seat, officially naming their software releases to numbers.
Below, we review all the dessert names assigned by Google to their versions of the operating system, from the first to the most recent Android 13 Tiramisu.
