Hello All,
Pls help to clarify this point is which SharePoint platform version is used for SharePoint Online, 2013 or 2016? We have a customer they need to check their O365 SharePoint Online is 2013 or 2016 version now. Because they see the 15 in the URLs of their SharePoint sites, it means SharePoint 2013: https://tenant.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx.
I think the SharePoint Online has been changing and updating one by one, the current version is latest one (2016, not 2013), no need to upgrade. But the SharePoint Admin Center is old. Is that right?
And another one is the current experience version is 2013.

The "15" in URL's is no clear indicator of the version of SharePoint being used.
This article provides a lot of detail on different versions, hope this helps

Hi Wictor,
Tks a lot for your reply. I think Microsoft hasn't updated the current Sharepoint Online Admin Center to the new version. Is it right?

Also, you can use PnP PowerShell to get your build number:
Connect-PnPOnline https://mytenant.sharepoint.com Get-PnPContext
This will return:
