Google releases Android 13 Beta 2.1 for Pixel phones

Google has released a new update for Android 13 Beta. Although we’re only halfway through the month, the new Android 13 Beta 2.1 patch will fix a few issues that affected Pixel devices immediately after the first release of Android 13 Public Beta.

Google’s release notes include the following fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where entering in the search box resulted in an empty list of suggestions.
  • Fixed an issue where devices would crash and restart when hotspot was enabled.
  • Fixed an issue where a continuous dial sound could be heard in the background during a phone call.
  • Fixed an issue where devices would crash and restart after disconnecting from Android Auto.

This mid-cycle update still contains the same list of known issues as the Beta 2 build that was released on May 11th, except for those discussed above. According to 9to5Googlethe problem with the search bar remains despite the mid-term update.

If you’re already on Android 13 Beta, the update will automatically notify you via OTA notification. If you’re on the Android 12 QPR (Quarterly Platform Release) Beta program, deselect and re-enroll in Android 13 Beta – keep in mind that Android 13 Beta is still in early beta and there is a meaty list of issues. Those who want to sign up for both Beta programs can sign up here.

Keep in mind that if you want to sign up, in most cases you will not be able to return to the public release without deleting data. Make sure you do proper research before signing up for a device you use daily.
