Published: Aug 22, 2024, 3:22 PM 

Previously released on August 13th, Google has updated the release notes for this build (AP31.240617.015) to include the brand-new devices. If you own a Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, or Pixel 9 Pro XL, you can now install the Android 15 beta to experience the latest features firsthand.

At first, the new devices weren't appearing in Google's Android Beta for Pixel website in order to enroll them in the beta program. However, it appears that they have now begun to show up. This means that, for now, if your device isn't showing up, you may need to be patient and just wait a bit. Otherwise, you could always manually install it by flashing the factory images, although that would take more work.

What new things to expect?

Although the full list of Android 15 features has not yet been revealed, this beta version already allows you to get a glimpse of the new features to come. We can expect further improvements to the user interface, notification management, security and privacy. Developers will also be able to take advantage of new APIs to create even more efficient and innovative applications.

How to participate in the beta?

To install the Android 15 beta on your Pixel 9, simply sign up for Google's beta program. Please note, it is important to note that beta versions may be unstable and contain bugs. It is therefore recommended to back up your data before updating.

Why participate in the beta?

By participating in the beta, you are actively contributing to the development of Android. Your feedback is valuable to Google, which will be able to improve the operating system before its official release. In addition, you will have the opportunity to preview the new features of Android 15 and personalize your user experience.

In conclusion

The availability of the Android 15 beta for the Pixel 9 is excellent news for users of these smartphones. It allows you to discover upcoming new features and contribute to the development of Android. However, it is important to keep in mind that this version is still in development and caution should be exercised before installing it.
