Over the past month, the company has begun testing the new set of APIs used for advertising through the Privacy Sandbox but only for desktop and Chrome platforms. Now the tests will start expanding to Google Chrome users on Android as well.
According to the company’s message on its official blogThe first developer preview version of Privacy Sandbox on Android will start appearing soon, which also comes a few days after the new Android 13 beta was revealed for Pixel devices.
With this release, the company says it intends to open up the possibility for developers to adapt the new Privacy Sandbox within Android, which will also allow them to adapt the systems to the new ad format and its APIs.
