Google apparently isn’t done for the day – you want more Android 16? After giving us stable Android 16, as well as both Pixel and Android Feature Drops, Google says that the Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2 is arriving at some point (it just went live as I was typing this out) with a handful of bug fixes and likely more behind the scenes.
Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2 release: The files and release notes went live, with Google sharing that Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2 as build BP31.250523.006 is “now available.” We’re seeing factory images for those willing to manually flash. I just checked for the over-the-air-update and wasn’t able to pull it just yet, but it should be live momentarily. Keep checking.
For fixes, there are 7 items in the list below that Google provided. They’ve touched on the auto dark theme not working, Now Playing crashing, the camera frequently failing to launch, and more.
