Since we already hit platform stability in Beta 3, there\u2019s not much to look for on the feature front, but we have maybe something even better: Google\u2019s latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-easter-eggs-818694\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android Easter egg<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_dm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768240152_738_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768240152_238_google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Over the last several Beta releases, we saw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-17-mystery-logo-3652748\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google subtly changing the Android 17 logo<\/a>, adding more and more of a swirl to that planetary design. We already showed you how that was going to end up, but now it\u2019s finally official.<\/p>\n<p>Like past Easter eggs, you access this one by going into Settings &gt; About phone, finding Android Version, and then tapping away on the version number.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re in, you\u2019ll have to connect the stars to get Android 17\u2019s logo to appear. Just making a big circle is obviously your easiest option there (despite our failed first attempt above). But it turns out that\u2019s not your only option, and you can go about connecting them any way you like:<\/p>\n<p>At least, this is the new logo part of Google\u2019s Android 17 Easter egg experience. Once we pull that up, long-pressing on it takes us to the old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-16-easter-egg-3533677\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android 16 space game<\/a>. We also had a version of that in Android 15, and we\u2019re going to have to dig play around with it a little to see if there\u2019s any new gameplay.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
