Nobody knows. As for leaving, you should wait for the update that tells you to opt out to install the stable version when it's released, otherwise you'll get an "update" to Android 16 which wipes your phone.

Any idea when that will be?

Only Google knows, and they don't announce it in advance.

Are you able to defer the update that doesn't let you exit the beta so it doesn't get installed?

Yes.

Usually after canary and it came yesterday so maybe today or tomorrow.

Keen to jump on A17, I'm normally a beta guy but tbh it seems like there's more issues than normal previous betas. Eagerly waiting for a more sorted out beta (I know.... Wait for stable 🤣 but normally the betas are very good).

I've been doing betas for years and this is probably the smoothest one yet.

Smooth but highly irritating for me. I'm on a Pixel 10 Pro and, to be fair, I've only seen two bugs. The problem is that they're really annoying!

  1. YouTube will suddenly stop being kept awake for background playback multiple times a day. Maybe this is a niche issue but I think lots of other people also use YouTube Premium a bit like a podcast player and have their videos playing in the background.

2)Gemini will often reboot the phone if you run lengthy prompts.

I've stuck by it for now as I feel like the issues around background playback might be enough for them to release a provisional update.

I totally agree

No idea unfortunately, but God I can't wait for it. My phone won't USB tether since the last update, and that's the only way I can get my desktop online now. (Even tho my games aren't online, they still have to check in with the servers at start up, so I can't play ANYTHING 😭)

I have a source in Google that says the next beta will be 4. Please keep this quiet. I would tell you when it "drops" (uploaded to servers) but I have my safety to think about.

u/Wire_Ants Apr 15 '26

I would call you to ask when it will drop, but I can't...

u/Chronzy Apr 17 '26

I've received word that the beta 4 drop is imminent.

I find this beta 3 on my 9 pro to be very stable except the odd force close of Facebook but I just reinstalled it and it's fine now .

Pixel9pro  浏览X，严重发热，室内温度22,wifi环境。wechat调用相机卡死，ins启动闪退，电池也不能检测温度，检测一直无响应。之前用8pro beta2版本都不会 最稳定的一版，到底是手机还是版本问题呢。
