Google rolled out the May security patch later this week. Now the tech giant has followed it up with the release of Android 12 QPR Beta 3 for Pixel phones. This is the last beta version of Google Pixel’s June Feature Drop. Like the previous beta update, this update is also compatible with Google Pixel 4 and newer only.
The update features the May 2022 security patch that rolled out recently on Monday. Apart from the security patch, the beta update also focuses on stability improvements and bug fixes. Let’s see what issues it resolves.
Top resolved issue:
- Fixed an issue on Pixel 6 Pro devices where a white line sometimes flashed on the screen after waking up a device that was not configured to always display time and other info on the lock screen.
- Fixed various issues to improve call quality and connectivity.
- Fixed a keystore issue that caused the NHS COVID-19 app to crash when launching.
Other open issues:
- In some cases, on Pixel 6 and 6 Pro devices, the system crashes when the user tries to take a picture using the camera.
- In some cases, the Google Camera app icon in a device’s personal profile erroneously displays a work profile indicator.
