Android 16 Beta 2.1 is out: bug fixes and stability improvements
Android 15 is still rolling out to phones, but Android 16 is already well into its beta testing phase. Although testing is still ongoing, Google has released the Android 16 Beta 2.1 update.
Here's What We Know
The update has build number BP22.250124.010 and does not bring any new features or interface changes. The main purpose of this update is to fix bugs that have occurred since the previous version.
The first issue fixed (#396603519) concerned the Doze feature, which reduces the power consumption of the phone when it is not in use. Previously, this feature was not working properly, but now it is back up and running, which will allow you to increase the battery life.
Another bug (#397659072) concerned animations when setting up live wallpapers. Although this bug did not affect the user experience much, the animations now work smoothly.
The most frustrating issue (#396541565) was the one that caused phones to reboot without warning. This situation, of course, is a significant obstacle to comfortable use.
In addition, Android 16 Beta 2.1 includes standard stability, connectivity and performance improvements that should have a positive impact on the overall user experience.
The update is now available for installation. If you haven't received a notification yet, go to Settings, find the Software section and tap the Update button. If the update is available, simply click "Install" and wait for the process to complete.
