# How to find your Android version number

## What is an operating system version number?

A version number is a unique set of numbers representing the specific release of an operating system.

The Android version number follows the format of major.minor.patch. For example, here's what each component in **13.3.1** means:

**13** is the major version; **3** is the minor version; **1** is the patch version.

## How to check android version on your phone

To find the Android version on your device:

1. Open your phone's **Settings** app
2. Scroll down and tap **About device** (or **About phone**)
3. Look for **Software info** or **Android version**
4. Here you'll see your Android version

## Understanding Android SDK versions

For Android operating systems, we reference SDK/API levels rather than version names. For example, each Android version has a corresponding SDK/API level:

Android **13** corresponds to SDK version **33** Android **12** corresponds to SDK version **31-32** Android **11** corresponds to SDK version **30**

If you want to require your team's devices to run Android 13 or later, enter "**33.0.0**" in the **Device Security Posture Monitor Operating System Version** field.
