Google has rolled out Android 17 QPR1 Beta 2 to enrolled Pixel testers.

The update focuses on stability, fixing recent-apps visual glitches, swipe gesture issues, and app-switching bugs.

It also addresses Bluetooth tethering failures, custom theme display problems, file system instability, signal bar errors, call handling bugs, and a Terminal app launch issue.

The patch signals that Google is prioritizing bug fixes early in Android 17’s development ahead of the final release.
