Android 15 restricts the terminal environment to 16GB of allocated storage, severely limiting its functionality. With the release of Android 16's beta 4, users can customize storage allocation, improving usability for applications like the Ollama terminal AI app. Future developments promise a dynamically adjusting storage method to avoid running out of space. Official release for Android 16 is expected on June 3, 2025, introducing significant improvements in terminal usability.
With the Android 15 update, only 16GB of storage can be allocated to the Linux terminal environment, limiting what users can achieve with it.
