Google has released Android 16 Beta 3.2, which addresses several important issues related to battery, display, and haptic feedback for Pixel 6 devices and newer. This update follows just two weeks after the rollout of Android 16 Beta 3.1 and focuses on refining the operating system in preparation for a stable version. The new update, version BP22.250221.015, includes essential fixes that should enhance user experience. Notably, it corrects haptic feedback calibration problems that some users had encountered.
Additionally, the update resolves an issue that led to excessive battery drain on various Pixel devices, even when the devices were not actively in use. For Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users, the update specifically addresses a problem with screen flickering during photography or video recording. It also aims to improve overall system stability and usability, enhancing the performance of these devices. Beta testers with Pixel 6 models and above can expect to receive the Over the Air (OTA) update within 24 hours of the announcement, made on April 2.
Users enrolled in the beta program should check for updates by navigating to Settings > System > System updates. This iteration of the Android 16 beta series shows Google’s commitment to delivering a polished product ahead of its stable release. Previous beta updates, like Beta 3.1, have focused on ironing out bugs, such as issues with fluctuating brightness levels and crashes within the Settings app. As anticipation grows for the Google I/O event scheduled for May 20, where further details about Android 16 and Google’s advancements in AI will be unveiled, the company continues to make significant strides in optimizing its mobile operating system.
