Android isn’t exactly known for its quick update rollouts thanks to the complexities of having multiple companies and carriers releasing their own versions of the operating system. That’s why the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system, Android 5.0 Lollipop, has only managed to get 1.6% adoption in the three months since its release.
Google today updated its Platform Versions page for Android, and it looks like the latest version has finally shown up. Android 5.0 Lollipop has grabbed its first percent of the adoption pie, cutting into the growth of Android 4.4 KitKat, the only other version to gain adoption share this month. The “milestone,” if you will, comes three months after Google debuted its Nexus 9, the first device to sport Android 5.0. Until now, Lollipop wasn’t showing up because its usage was negligible — Google says “Any versions with less than 0.1% distribution are not shown.” KitKat meanwhile grabbed less than 1 percentage point, which wasn’t enough for it to crack the 40 percent mark: it settled at 39.7 percent.
