Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1.1 Is Here With A Boatload Of Fixes For Google’s Material 3 Expressive Redesign
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
Android 16 is coming to the stable channel this month — in fact, the beta program for Google’s next big release has already ended. Now, the beta channel has moved on to Android 16 Quarterly Platform Release 1 — or QPR1 — and this is perhaps an even bigger update than the main Android 16 release.
QPR1 will eventually go stable as the first Pixel Feature Drop after Android 16’s release, and it will bring Google’s all-new Material 3 Expressive UI along with it. Some of these bouncy new animations and tweaks are already live on QPR1 Beta 1 — but apparently, there were quite a few glitches with the early version of this visual overhaul, because Google is already releasing a second beta update to QPR1.
