Google released Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3 to Pixel devices, including the latest Pixel 9 series. This beta, incorporating the July 2025 security patch, is considered suitable for general use before the stable September launch. The update is available via the Android Beta Program, flashing, or sideloading, with OTA sizes varying by device. Users can report bugs through the Android Beta Feedback app or the Android Beta community on Reddit.
