Android 14 Beta Patch Rolls out for Devices

As we get closer and closer to the launch of next iteration of Android, Google has been consistently pumping out updates and fixes to the platform’s beta version, allowing users and developers to test out Android 14 before it rolls out to the public.

As such, Google recently sent out a fix addressing a number of issues on the current beta version of Android 14. Several release notes on Android’s developer page detail the updates that were included with the latest software patch:

• Fixed an issue where the system UI crashed when trying to access the Wallpaper & Style screen either through the Settings app, or by long-pressing from the home screen.
• Fixed some issues that prevented fingerprint unlock from being used.
• Fixed an issue where the status bar did not display the mobile network.
• Fixed an issue that prevented a SIM card or eSIM from being detected or activated in some cases.
• Fixed an issue where the lock screen displayed a message with an unresolved string placeholder when Smart Lock was enabled.

As for availability, Google states that eligible devices enrolled in the Android Beta for Pixel program will be sent an over-the-air (OTA) update with the new patch for Beta 1.1.
