Today Android 16 Beta continues with the next round of Beta updates for our September Feature Drop release. These are known as Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs) and delivered to Google Pixel devices as part of Feature Drops. Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1 (BP31.250502.008) includes new platform features, bug fixes, performance optimizations, and the August 2025 security patches.

This build contains some of the Material 3 Expressive changes covered in last week's announcements, including a visual refresh to notifications, quick settings, the lock screen, and the launcher.
