Android 16’s Last Beta is Rolling Out: How to Install Beta 4 on Your Pixel

The latest Android 16 beta build focuses on stability ahead of the official launch in June.

The fourth beta of Android 16 has begun rolling out to supported Pixel smartphones and tablets, and it’ll be the last release for the beta program. Android 16 reached platform stability in its last beta, and this secondary stability release is all about tightening up all the screws before the final release in a few months. We’ll probably hear more about Android 16 next month during Google I/O 2025.

Users installing the latest beta will receive the latest fixes and optimizations first, and will be able to submit feedback via an app installed within the build itself. The Android Developers blog also announced that the latest beta is now available for more devices from its partners, allowing more people to get in on the Android 16 fun.

Below, we’ll cover the updates of the latest beta and how you can install beta on your Pixel device. For more, don’t miss our Pixel 9a review and how to get Android 16’s Live Updates working with Google Maps.

The blog post doesn’t share specifics on what changes were made, indicating that new features have not been added, though there may be a couple of minor or cosmetic tweaks. If the developer blog adds any specifics to the post, we’ll detail them here.
