A fresh beta's introduction is a momentous occasion for many Android users, albeit one that causes some anxiety due to the risk of the beta destabilizing the system. But this time, the information about Android 14 Beta 1.1 couldn't be more reassuring: it's a little update that just focuses on resolving the faults discovered in the first beta. This most recent patch, according to the report, is distributed over the air and is compatible with Pixel 4a 5G and later devices. It includes enhancements for the Wallpaper & Style settings, fingerprint unlock, mobile network display, SIM and eSIM detection, as well as the lock screen message when Smart Lock is enabled.

Although the fixes in this update should ensure a smoother ride, it's possible to run into extra problems or even a few regressions, or features that worked in an earlier version but don't anymore in the current one. All things considered, Pixel users will undoubtedly like this upgrade because it will make using Google's next operating system much better for them. Android 14's beta 1.1 will undoubtedly make the wait a little easier and provide users with a wonderful preview of the entire system before it is officially released. The most bothersome flaws, according to Google, have already been fixed in this version. On the website for Android developers, users may check out Android 14 Beta 1.

The Pixel 4a 5G and later phones signed up for the Android Beta Programme are receiving the update over the air.
