Google released a new Android 17 QPR2 Beta update today as Beta 6. All of the still-supported Pixel phones from the Pixel 6a up through the Pixel 10 series are included. For some reason, Google doesn’t show that the Pixel 11 is officially supported, even though it joined last month with Beta 5.
If you have a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro, you are still not a part of this beta. Your last big update was Android 17 QPR1 and it released last week and you are not expected to see QPR2.
This new update addresses 6 bugs and also continues work on hardening Android against call forwarding fraud.
