Google's next major update for Android, the December Feature Drop, is advancing steadily with the release of Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 (build AP41.240726.009). This update, part of Google's Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs), brings new features, bug fixes, performance improvements, and the latest August 2024 security patches to Pixel devices.
Once you've enrolled, your device will receive an over-the-air (OTA) update to the latest Beta version. If you're already enrolled in the Android 15 Beta program and haven't opted out, you'll automatically receive the QPR1 Beta 1 update and any future Beta updates.

However, it's important to note that Beta software can be unstable and may contain bugs. If you prefer to stick with the stable public release of Android 15, you can opt out of the Beta program without wiping your device. However, there's a catch: you'll need to opt out before installing the QPR1 Beta 1 update. If you opt out after installing Beta 1 or any future updates, all user data on your device will be wiped, as per the program guidelines. If you do choose to opt out, you'll receive a "Downgrade" OTA update. It's recommended to ignore this update and wait for the public release of Android 15 instead.
It's worth noting that while the December Feature Drop is still a few months away, the release of Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 provides a glimpse into what we can expect. The update is likely to include a range of new features and improvements, such as enhancements to the user interface, performance optimizations, and new privacy and security features.
