As Google continues to develop Android 15, they are still testing the June Feature Drop, which is currently in Betas. The last beta build arrived weeks ago, and the Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2.1 update is now available.
The latest release is a follow-up of last month’s update with a major focus on fixing bugs and optimizing performance. However, we expect some new features, and hopefully, we will learn about them in the coming days.
Those enrolled in the beta program are getting an OTA with version number AP21.240305.005. Unfortunately, it is coming with the March 2024 security patch instead of the April patch, which is yet to start rolling out for stable users.
Eligible devices getting the 418 MB package, which varies depending on your device model, are the Pixel 5a, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7, Pixel 7a, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8, Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold. There’s no available link to download the OTA but you can download the Factory image via the source link.
