Based on a decompile of software version 26.2.0 of the Robotaxi app, Tesla looks to be ready to roll out access to Android users. According to the breakdown, performed by _Tesla App Updates,_ the company is preparing to roll out an Android version of the app as it is developing several features for that operating system. > It looks like Tesla is preparing to launch the Robotaxi app for Android users at last! > > A decompile of v26.2.0 of the Robotaxi app shows some progress on the Android side for Robotaxi https://t.co/mThmoYuVLy > > — TESLARATI (@Teslarati) March 13, 2026 The breakdown of the software version shows that Tesla is actively developing an Android-compatible version of the Robotaxi app, and the company is developing Live Activities for Android: _“Strings like notification\_channel\_robotaxid\_trip\_name and android\_native\_alicorn\_eta\_text show exactly how Tesla plans to replicate the iOS Live Activities experience. Instead of standard push alerts, Android users are getting a persistent, dynamically updating notification channel.”_ This is a big step forward for several reasons. From a face-value perspective, Tesla is finally ready to offer Robotaxi to Android users. The company has routinely prioritized Apple releases because there is a higher concentration of iPhone users in its ownership base. Additionally, the development process for Apple is simply less laborious. > Tesla is working to increase Android capabilities in its vehicles Secondly, the Robotaxi rollout has been a typical example of “slowly then all at once.” Tesla initially released Robotaxi access to a handful of media members and influencers. Eventually, it was expanded to more users, so that anyone using an iOS device could download the app and hail a semi-autonomous ride in Austin or the Bay Area. Opening up the user base to Android users may show that Tesla is preparing to allow even more users to utilize its Robotaxi platform, and although it seems to be a few months away from only offering fully autonomous rides to anyone with app access, the expansion of the user base to an entirely different user base definitely seems like its a step in the right direction.
