Google is introducing a new way to encourage users to upgrade to the latest versions of Android. It's called the 'Android Update Invite'—technically a push notification that leads users through a series of screens or 'flow' that highlight the new features of a major Android update.

Meanwhile, Android 11 despite being released way back in 2020, still holds the majority with 23.5% of devices running it. With Google's new Android Upgrade Invite, users not only get a whole new look at what’s next of Android, but they’ll also get informed quickly of a major update.
