Overview
- Google released Android 17 QPR2 on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, and the update is now rolling out to a wide range of Pixel models from the Pixel 6a through the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
- The package bundles two November security bulletins and device fixes that together address well over 200 vulnerabilities plus 166 Google-device specific patches listed in the Pixel bulletin.
- Pixel users get new UI and personalization controls including a more detailed color picker with four intensity styles, adaptive light/dark wallpapers, and a new Status bar page to choose which notification and system icons appear.
- A preview Voice Broadcast feature for Auracast lets users send live voice from a phone or wired headset to Auracast-compatible headphones and hearing devices, and new developer APIs add backdrop blur and frosted-glass effects for apps.
- OTA files and per-model build numbers are published for sideloading, the stable OTA will not wipe devices, and users enrolled in the Android Beta Program must opt out to receive the stable QPR2 release.
