Google notes that all eligible devices enrolled in the Android Beta for Pixel program will be offered an over-the-air (OTA) update to QPR Beta 1.1. If you’re enrolled in the Android Beta Program, you can install the update by heading over to Settings > System > Software updates > System update > Check for updates.
A stable Android 16 update is also awaited for Pixel devices. While leaks suggested it would roll out on June 2, that didn’t happen. The new Material 3 Expressive UI, however, is confirmed to launch later this year and won’t be part of the incoming Android 16 update.
