Google has been testing Android 14 for many months now and till now we got to see two developer betas and three public betas. And there’s one more beta to go before the release of stable Android 14 which could release in August.
The Android 14 Beta 3.1 update comes with build number UPB3.230519.014 which will be the same across Pixel phones. And the incremental update brings June 2023 Android security patch which was not upgraded in the last week’s Beta 3 update.
Here is the official changelog of Android 14 Beta 3.1:
- Fixed issues where Fingerprint Unlock was either unavailable or unusable on some devices.
