Google Rolls Out Android 17 QPR1 Beta 7 to Pixel Devices

The build brings the July 2026 security patch, fixes key Quick Settings and Battery Share bugs, and helps developers finish app updates.

Overview

  • Google began rolling out Android 17 QPR1 Beta 7 on July 15, 2026 as build CP31.260623.005 with OTA and downloadable system images for a wide range of Pixel phones and the Android Emulator.
  • The update includes the July 2026 security patch to address known vulnerabilities and update Google Play services on enrolled devices.
  • Beta 7 fixes a Battery Share regression that stopped reverse wireless charging when launched from Quick Settings and removed a repeated charging animation that could mislead users.
  • The release also corrects a visual gap that appeared in the Quick Settings status bar when Wi‑Fi was turned off and resolves a crash in the Quick Settings font‑size controller that blocked text‑size adjustments.
  • Google says QPR1 reached platform stability with Beta 6 so developers can finalize apps, and it asks testers to report remaining problems through the Android Beta Program, the Beta Feedback app, Reddit, or the Issue Tracker while avoiding use on primary devices.
