Android 16 Beta 4.1 Released for Pixel Phones With Several Bug Fixes

Google is really turning this into a major Android day. Following their presentation earlier, with all of the major announcements from it (like Material 3 Expressive), Google is now releasing Android 16 Beta 4.1 to Pixel devices.

If you have a Pixel 6 or 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 or 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Fold, Pixel Tablet, Pixel 8 or 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL or 9 Pro Fold, or Pixel 9a, then this update is for you. You can get it over-the-air by signing up for the Android Beta Program (here).

This fresh update is technically minor, as only an update to Beta 4 from last month, but it does fix 9 bugs or issues that were a part of that previous build. Those bugs include haptic issues, lock screen shortcuts being annoying, the weather map disappearing, constant battery drain, and more.

• Fixed an issue that impacted haptic performance (Issue #392319999)
• Fixed an issue that impacted 4k video recording at 4x telephoto (Issue #396804873)
• Fixed the weather map disappearing (Issue #407282089)
• Fixed lock screen shortcuts triggering with a single tap (Issue #403679494)
• Fixed an issue where the microphone indicator is stuck on (Issue #394002077)
• Fixed an issue where audio fails to play from the NDK (Issue #410960668)
• Fixed a constant battery drain issue (Issue #406421245)
• Fixed a black navigation bar appearing on transitions (Issue #411509161)
• Fixed a Google app crash when loading a website (Issue #415097836)

The build number you’ll find for your supported Pixel device is the following:

Release date: May 13, 2025
Build: BP22.250325.012
Emulator support: x86 (64-bit), ARM (v8-A)
