Google has expelled Android 15 QPR2 Beta 2.1 to Pixels mainly to fix some pesky bugs.
The latest update builds on Android 15 and QPR2, bringing changes to improve connectivity, customization, performance, and overall stability in the beta channel. For developers, this is an opportunity to test applications against new features and system changes, making sure everything works correctly for users.

This update, with build number BP11.241121.013, contains January 2025 security fixes as well as Pixel-specific tweaks. The main goal is to fix annoying issues like app crashes, system freezes, and random reboots that some beta users faced.
Here is what is corrected:
- Fixed several issues that sometimes caused a device to freeze, crash, or restart unexpectedly. (Number No. 380500068, Number No. 381894854, Number No. 378856187, Number No. 384447026, Number No. 384885640, Number No. 385056337, Number No. 385126181)
- Fixed an issue where Emoji Workshop options opened when selecting wallpapers from other categories in System Settings. (Number no. 384629413)
- Fixed various other issues that affected system stability and connectivity.
On top of that, this update fixes a weird bug where Emoji Workshop settings would appear randomly when choosing a new wallpaper.
This update also brings solid improvements to system stability and network reliability.
