Must read

Just under two weeks after the last major update, Android 15 Beta 3.1 is rolling out with a handful of fixes. Google has addressed the very annoying lockscreen issue.

  • Fixed issues that caused the lock screen to intercept touch input and prompt the user to unlock the device, even when interacting with elements on the lock screen that don’t require the device to be unlocked. (Issue #348101427, Issue #345873537)
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused biometric face authentication to fail.
  • Fixed various other issues that were impacting system stability, connectivity, and audio quality.

The on-device OTA is 63.87 MB on a Pixel 8 and widely rolling out this morning.
