Android 14 QPR2 Beta 1.1 (November 2023)

This minor update to Android 14 QPR2 Beta 1 includes the following fixes:

  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused some apps to be removed after a system update was installed and then prevented those apps from being installed again. In other cases, affected apps couldn't be installed on a device even if they hadn't been installed previously.
  • Fixed other issues that were impacting system stability, performance, and connectivity.

All eligible devices enrolled in the Android Beta for Pixel program will be offered an over-the-air (OTA) update to Beta 1.1

About Android 14 QPR2

Building upon the initial release of Android 14, we continue to update the platform with fixes and improvements that are then rolled out to supported devices. These releases happen on a quarterly cadence through Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs), which are delivered both to AOSP and to Google Pixel devices as part of Feature Drops.

Although these updates don't include app-impacting API changes, we provide images of the latest QPR beta builds so you can test your app with these builds as needed (for example, if there are upcoming features that might impact the user experience of your app).

Unlike developer previews and betas for unreleased, major versions of Android, these builds are suitable for general use. However, review any known issues that are listed on this page.

Android 14 QPR2 builds on the updates in the initial release of Android 14 and Android 14 QPR1. This release includes the next round of refinements such as bug fixes and improvements to stability and performance.
