Android 15 QPR2 Beta 2.1 arrives to take care of a bunch of glitches

[phillynews215]

• Google’s latest Quarterly Platform Release preview has just landed, with the release of Android 15 QPR2 Beta 2.1.
• Builds are available for the Pixel 6 series, Pixel 7 series, Pixel 8 series, Pixel 9 series, Pixel Fold, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and the Pixel Tablet.
• As a point release, there doesn’t appear to be much in the way of new features here, and this beta is instead about bug fixes and stability.

We’re just a couple days past Google’s release of the January 2025 update for Pixel phones, which brought with it some fixes for issues that remained a problem even after the release of the December Pixel Drop. But there’s also a separate track of Android development that’s been underway simultaneously, getting things ready for the first Pixel Drop of 2025, anticipated for March. Eager testers have been able to get an early taste of that update by registering to try out the Quarterly Platform Release (QPR) 2 beta, and today Google’s dropping its latest batch of bug fixes.

These fixes arrive as Android 15 QPR2 Beta 2.1, which Google shares is available now for Pixel devices enrolled in the beta program. Compared to the changes present in QPR2 Beta 2, this new changelog is a lot sparser than last time around. But given that this one’s only designated as a point release, that’s exactly the situation we’d expect.
