Essential information

  • Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2.1 provides essential bug fixes for qualifying Pixel devices.
  • It resolves minor glitches, including the invisibility of the “approve” button, lock screen sounds activating despite being disabled, among others.
  • Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2 is available as of today for Pixel 6 and newer models, provided as an over-the-air (OTA) enhancement to Beta 2.

Google shared today (June 25) that it is officially commencing the rollout of Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2.1, succeeding the launch of QPR1 Beta 2. This new test iteration is designated as “BP31.250523.010”.

This update, which weighs in at roughly 4.2MB, brings forth minor enhancements and rectifies some glitches reported by Pixel users in the earlier beta release. Initially, it resolves the problem with the approve button in Device Admin settings, which was previously noted as invisible or transparent.

Additionally, it tackles frustrating issues like the lockscreen sound persisting despite being toggled off, the back button inexplicably stopping functioning for some, and a bug that causes the device’s main screen or launcher to crash when swiping up from the bottom to reach the home screen or app drawer.
