Throughout the year, Google offers two different branches of Android for their Pixel smartphones. The version of Android that comes installed on your device is the stable build but the company also offers a beta version for those who want to test out the latest new features that they have been working on.

In today’s video, I’ll be showing you how to install the latest beta version of Android on your Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. This process will also work on the upcoming release of Google’s 2023 mid-range smartphone, likely to be called the Pixel 7a.

Due to the nature of beta releases, many people recommend that you unlock the bootloader of your device ahead of time. Or at the very least, first enable the OEM Unlocking toggle in the Developer Options area. This is not required in order to install the beta version of Android, but if something bugs out and prevents you from downgrading back to the stable build, you at least have the ability to manually flash official firmware from Google.

You should also know that if you decide that you’re done using the beta version of Android, and you want to go back to the stable build, then you’ll need to wipe all of the data from your phone during that downgrade process. Google does have a way of transitioning from the beta build back to the stable build at the end of their testing cycle, but this won’t help you if you abruptly decide to go back to the stable version.

When you’re ready to test out the beta version of Android, which is currently Android 13 QPR2 Beta 1, then you’ll need to visit the Android Beta portal.

Once here, go ahead and sign into your Google account using the button at the top right. And then read through the information the company has made available on the website. This will give you a brief overview about the program, warn you about the need to wipe your data if you choose to downgrade back to the stable build, and then offer you a list of eligible devices that can be enrolled into the program.

We can opt-into the Android Beta program by finding our eligible device on the page, and then tapping the blue button here.

Once the device has been enrolled it can take up to 24 hours before the new OTA update is made available to you. But once the device has opted in, you can then go to manually check for that new OTA update from within the Settings application. In my experience, you usually only have to wait a minute or two before that new update is made available to your device.

Tap the button to manually check for a new OTA update and then install it once you are given the option. This installation process will take some time to complete, just like all new updates, with the optimizing apps process generally taking the longest.

You’ll know whether or not you have the beta version installed since you’ll be shown a feedback pop-up every time you boot back into the OS.

You can even double check to see which version of Android is installed by checking the About section of the Settings application like you normally would.
