Google has rolled out Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1.1 to fix a bug causing app crashes on Pixel devices. This update addresses issues reported by users after the release of Beta 1.

Release and Scope

Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1.1 is available for eligible Pixel devices from the Pixel 6 onwards. The specific build number for the Pixel 7a is CP11.251114.004.A2, while other Pixels get CP11.251114.007. The update applies to all devices participating in the Android Beta Program.

Fixes and Remaining Issues

This minor update primarily aims to resolve startup crashes in apps like Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and various banking apps. However, users report continued crashes with some Microsoft apps despite the update.

Additional Guidance

The update is available over-the-air or via manual sideloading. Google advises against exiting the Android Beta Program after installing QPR3 Beta 1.1, as doing so might lead to data corruption for some users. Users should either avoid installing this update or wait for the next beta release.
