Today we're excited to announce a major overhaul that significantly enhances the Android app and brings some of Tailscale's most widely used and requested features to the Android platform.

Since its debut in August 2020, the Tailscale Android app has been a reliable tool for secure remote networking, with users registering over 240,000 Android devices to their tailnets. However, the app had started to feel somewhat dated — especially after our redesigned iOS app launch. Today’s launch ensures that, both visually and under the hood, Android users are getting the best Tailscale experience ever.

Our updated version of the app begins with a visual update. The Android app now closely follows the Tailscale design system, mirroring the spacing, color, and typography of our admin console, web client, and iOS apps. To ensure each app feels native to its operating system, we've adapted our components to match Android-specific design patterns, which helps us deliver an intuitive experience to users familiar with the Android ecosystem and optimize performance.

Our Android app now supports the needs of enterprise customers relying on mobile device management (MDM) solutions. These solutions let you easily deploy applications and system configurations to a large fleet of managed devices.
