Fuchsia OS is a new system developed by Google to replace the Android system. It is an upgraded version of the Android system and partially inherits the UI design and interface logic of the Android system.
Previously, Google has confirmed the existence of Fuchsia OS, but Google stated that the system will not replace the existing Android system and is currently only used in the new version of NEST Hub. In fact, Google as a whole has not paid much attention to the actual application direction of this operating system. In the earlier news, it was reported that Chris McKillop, the product leader and engineering director of Fuchsia OS, had left Google, casting a shadow over the future development of the operating system.

Chris McKillop has now revealed on his personal Twitter page that he is leaving Google.

Whether Google will continue to develop Fuchsia OS after Chris McKillop’s departure is unclear.
