The Android operating system (OS) currently dominates mobile devices worldwide. A report titled "Global Stashot: Digital in Q3 2017" indicates that 72.9 percent of global mobile users utilize the Android OS. Only 19.4 percent use Apple's iOS, with the remainder using other operating systems.

Android is a Linux-based operating system designed for touchscreen mobile devices. Initially developed by Android Inc., founded by Andy Rubin in 2003, it was acquired by Google in 2005. The first mobile phone to use the Android OS was the HTC Dream, launched in October 2008.

The rise of Android has claimed victims. Symbian, once developed by Nokia and the dominant mobile operating system globally, is now largely obsolete. Similarly, Research in Motion Limited, with its BlackBerry OS, has had to acknowledge Android's superiority. BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), once a popular messaging service, has been replaced by WhatsApp. Even some BlackBerry phones now utilize the Android OS.
