Google has released the next beta update for Android 12 QPR3. Beta 2 (S3B1.220318.003) includes the latest changes from the monthly April release and security patches, as well as additional bug fixes and optimizations for performance and stability, according to Google.
Unlike Developer Previews for unreleased Android versions, these builds are for general use. However, there are a few things that don’t work with this beta either. Google has also published a changelog, where you can find information about the problems that have been fixed, but also about the known ones.
Users who are already enrolled in the Android 12 beta program and are using an existing beta build will automatically receive an over-the-air (OTA) update to QPR3 Beta 2. Everyone else can jump in and try the beta here. QPR3 Beta 2 is available for Pixel 4, 4a, 5, 5a, 6 and 6 Pro series devices.
The following issues have been fixed in Android 12 QPR3 Beta 2:
- Fixed issues that caused high noise during phone calls on some devices. (Issue #224716473)
- Fixed an issue that caused the bottom portion of the Google Maps UI to be cut off at the bottom of the screen on some devices. (Issue #223688137)
- Fixed an issue resulting in the Google Messages app sometimes failing to send a message generated by scanning a QR code.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Google Phone app to crash when using the back gesture while searching.
