Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 update is now live!

Following the December release of QPR1, the usual preview program for QPR2 and the Pixel Feature Drop was expected to kick off this month. But Google surprised everyone by launching the program earlier, starting with a November preview followed by a quick patch release.

While technically betas, QPRs are considered relatively stable and suitable for daily use. Beta 2 arrives on all Pixel models from the 5a to the 8 Pro, sporting the build number AP11.231117.006. It also packs the latest December security patch.

The Beta 2 comes with a few fixes! Here’s what’s been addressed:

  • Fixed an issue where battery usage information that was reported in system settings was sometimes incorrect. (Issue #312121998)
  • Fixed an issue where the fingerprint icon on the lock screen would sometimes display before other information had loaded in always-on display mode. (Issue #311265905)
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the biometric prompt to crash, causing it to be dismissed before a user could interact with it.
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the Internet Quick Settings tile to indicate that there was no Wi-Fi connection, even when the device was connected to a Wi-Fi network.

To download the latest QPR 2 Beta 2 update, simply head to Settings > System > Software updates and tap “System update.” If it’s available for your device, the download will begin automatically.
