It’s Friday, so Google has continued on with its schedule of releasing new Android 17 beta updates to take us into the weekend. Today, they released Android 17 QPR2 Beta 7 for all of the still-supported Pixel devices.
The new update only has a couple of bug fixes, so it does appear to be minor. This would be Google fine-tuning everything as we approach a stable release that should arrive in December alongside the next Pixel Drop.
The update is available to the Pixel 6a up through the new Pixel 11 series. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have reached end of life, so they will not see Android 17 QPR2.
