Google announced today that they will begin rolling out the Privacy Sandbox system on a limited number of Android 13 devices starting in early 2023.
The Privacy Sandbox is a set of technologies Google introduced in February this year, aiming to limit the tracking of users while still providing advertisers with viable performance-measurement options.
Since then, Google has debated various design proposals with app developers and marketers, refining the system and readying its components for tentative deployment.
"Beginning early next year, we plan to roll out the initial Privacy Sandbox Beta to Android 13 mobile devices so that developers can take the next steps in testing these new solutions," mentions today's press release.
"We'll start with a small percentage of devices and increase over time."
"Note that Developer Previews will continue to be released, and this is where we'll first deliver the latest features for early feedback before being released on production devices."
App developers are invited to enroll to access the system's APIs and work on their integrations from early on while simultaneously helping Google in the next testing phase.
The Privacy Sandbox SDK Runtime testing will be more limited, so this will continue to be in closed beta.
