Google is expected to reveal some information about the next-generation Android 13 operating system at its annual developer conference next year. While some features of Android 13 have made their way onto the network, the company may reveal them officially at the conference. According to the latest report, the search engine giant is currently working on a feature that will allow Android 13 smartphone users to use two SIM cards in a device with a single eSIM chip.

Currently, eSIM only allows you to activate one subscriber line at a time. That’s why Google is working to offer support for two SIM cards with a single eSIM chip. To do this, the company has developed several activated profiles (MEPs) that allow one element of the eSIM to be actively connected to two operators at the same time.

Google received a patent for this technology in 2020 and reportedly plans to include it in the final version of Android 13 in the third quarter of this year.

In addition to Android 13, MEP support may be available for other devices, including iOS, MacOS, and Windows, as outlined in the patent application. It is reported that Pixel series smartphones are being tested for this new feature and there is a possibility that Google may transfer the license of this technology to other companies. Among other things, Android 13 has several features that have already penetrated the network, including support for controlling the brightness of the flashlight and the ability to drag messages to the screen in split-screen mode.
