Google has released Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1.1, a small but important update that fixes a bug causing certain apps to crash on launch. The update arrives less than a week after the first QPR3 beta and targets an issue that quickly frustrated Pixel users enrolled in the beta program.
The problem appeared shortly after users installed Android 16 QPR3 Beta 1. Reports pointed to repeated startup crashes affecting apps such as Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and several banking apps, making daily use difficult on affected devices.
Beta 1.1 is now available for all eligible Pixel phones enrolled in the Android Beta Program, starting with the Pixel 6 series and extending through newer models, including foldables. Most devices receive build CP11.251114.007, while the Pixel 7a gets a separate build variant.
Google's release notes for the update are brief, listing a fix for apps that crash during startup. The OTA package is small, around 60MB on devices like the Pixel 10 Pro XL, and should automatically appear for users already on the beta channel.
Early feedback suggests the update resolves crashes for most banking apps, restoring basic usability. Some Microsoft apps, including Teams and Outlook, are still reported to crash on launch, and clearing app or system cache does not appear to help in those cases.
Google also warns users who plan to leave the Android Beta Program. Installing QPR3 Beta 1.1 and then exiting the program may result in data corruption. Users who intend to opt out are advised to skip this update or wait for QPR3 Beta 2 before leaving the beta track.
For users staying on the beta, the update is recommended, as it addresses a widespread and disruptive issue without introducing major changes.
