Google Maps Version Numbering Update

Google Maps has updated its version numbering system for Android to align with the iOS versioning structure.

Previously, the Android versioning format was 11.155.0103, with "11" representing the major version. The new format is 24.47.01.697822364, similar to other Google apps like Play Services. The first number likely indicates the year, and the second the week number.

This change unifies version numbering across Android and iOS platforms, simplifying communication about feature requirements. It reflects the frequent, server-side updates Google Maps receives. ChatGPT's Evolution also demonstrates a similar iterative development process.

Key Changes

• Unified version numbering across platforms.
• New format reflects continuous updates.
• No direct user impact.

This update follows other recent Google Maps changes, including Gemini integration and a new location for weather information. For users interested in mobile technology, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE offers a different approach to mobile interfaces. Those focused on software updates might also be interested in One UI 7.0.
