Android 14 Beta 1.1: Fixing A Lot Of Bugs
At the beginning of the month, Google announced the launch of Android 14 Beta 1. Android 14 is the latest platform focused on privacy and security, developer productivity, user customization, and tablet / large screen support. Recently, the US tech giant has now started rolling out the latest Android 14 beta 1.1. The update adds several bug fixes related to the system UI crash, fingerprint sensor, SIM card errors, display, and more.
Let us tell you that the update will be available to eligible Pixel owners registered in the Android 14 Beta program. Eligible Pixel phones include the Pixel 4a, 5G, 5, 5a, 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, and 7 Pro series devices.
According to the Android Developers page, all eligible devices are updated with the April 2023 security patch and software version UPB1.230309.017. While the Pixel 6/6 Pro and 6a are getting the software version UPB1.230309.017.A1 on Verizon with March 2023.
If you’re already enrolled in the Android Beta Program, you’ll automatically be offered the over-the-air (OTA) update for Android 14 Beta 1.1. On the other hand, if your enrolled device is still running Android 13 QPR3 beta and you choose not to update to Android 14 beta 1.1, you will continue to receive QPR3 beta updates as they become available.

This update will continue throughout the day; it may take up to 24 hours for your device to receive the OTA update. You can check for updates by visiting Settings > System > System updates.
