Android 15, the next major operating system for Android smartphones, is likely to be released later this year. It was first previewed in February, and Google announced last month that it had reached “platform stability,” allowing developers to integrate new capabilities into their applications.
Ahead of its official release, a fresh report says that the update will include a new accessibility feature in the shape of a color correction intensity slider, aimed at assisting those with color blindness.
According to Android Authority, an intensity slider for the color-correcting feature could be included with Android 15. This feature allows users with color blindness to choose one of the color correction options based on their color vision deficiency.
It is believed to provide three intensities: low, medium, and high. Users may be able to manually change the level of color correction that occurs when a given mode is selected, correcting for the precise degree of their inability to see colors, such as deuteranomaly, protanomaly, or tritanomaly.
According to the source, the feature was not present in Android 15 Beta 3.1, released earlier this month, and had to be enabled manually.
In addition to an intensity slider for color correction, Android 15 is expected to have a more convenient way to adjust screen magnification. It can be activated with a novel two-finger double-tap gesture, allowing users with visual impairments to rapidly toggle it rather than having to navigate the smartphone’s settings.

Furthermore, the update is claimed to include an “easy pre-set” feature that may increase reading by magnifying the text and icons, as well as three on-screen navigation buttons at the bottom. Additionally, the feature is intended to increase contrast and make text and icons bolder.
Google claims Android 15 has achieved platform stability. The update is already in beta for developers and is anticipated to be released publicly later this year.
