Android's Privacy Sandbox has been in development since its announcement in February of 2022. It's a multi-year initiative to introduce more private advertising solutions to end-users and is made possible thanks to both the Topics API and FLEDGE. Its goal is to prioritize user privacy by default but still maintain the mobile ecosystem that is dependent on advertising to support free and ad-supported apps. This is an exclusive-to-Android solution that uses a standalone SDK, separate from the rest of the application code, with the aim of eventually replacing Ad ID. Now the first beta has been released, but it's a little bit different from how Google normally does betas.
