In a sign that Google intends to follow last year’s early release cadence to view the next version of its mobile operating system, the Android Beta Feedback app was updated via the Play Store on Thursday to Android 12.
With Android 10 / Q in 2019, Google made available an Android Beta Feedback app so that users could report bugs without having to visit the bug tracker website. It appears automatically when you install the developer preview / beta, with the client also used last year.
Google prompts you to uninstall the app after completing the year’s viewing program. Users who kept it on their devices were greeted with an update on February 4 to version 2.15-betterbug.external_20201211_RC02 – previously 2.11.
The Feedback app is currently unusable and does not explicitly indicate Android 12 Developer Preview / Beta. That said, it is a good indication that it will be released soon and will probably be available again a month earlier. Last year’s Android 11 DP was notable for starting in February instead of March.
Thank you for participating in the Android Beta program. The program has ended and at the moment we are no longer accepting comments through the app.
Presumably, Google also updated it with new features to improve the feedback process, but these are not apparent, as the corresponding issue tracker is not yet available.
