While we’re still waiting for Google to release a stable March 2023 feature drop after months of beta builds, the company has already started testing Android 13 QPR3 beta.
In a post on its Android Beta Reddit page, Google announced that Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 will be released the week of March 13th, i.e. this Monday. We won’t go into detail about what to expect from the beta, but this post highlights how users can prepare for the stable update, as well as how to prepare their phones for the upcoming beta.
One of the key changes that Google is making to the program is to allow users looking to update to a stable build to need To opt out of the beta program. Otherwise, anyone still using the beta will not receive a stable build and will automatically be on track for her next Android 13 beta and receive QPR3 beta 1. .
The post also states that users who do not wish to be processed a data wipe when exiting the beta program will have until March 13th to opt out and ignore the notification if a beta OTA update appears on their device. It also mentions something. Then we have to wait until the smartphone receives a stable OTA update for him.
“If you opt out of the program after installing the QPR3 Beta 1 Update, all user data on your device will be erased according to our normal program guidelines.”
As long as you don’t download/install QPR3 Beta 1, opt out of the program, and wait for a stable OTA, you can avoid data wipe even if you receive an update notification.
While the stable QPR2 build appears to be delayed (it was supposed to arrive earlier this week), it’s safe to say that an update will likely be announced on Monday. The company previously said the program would end in March and be followed up with an Android 14 beta.
Android 14 is currently in its second developer preview, and will be in beta in April. As such, the two beta programs may run simultaneously until his QPR3 stable release in June.
