Google released its latest Android 14 update with Beta 3.1. The latest update includes bug fixes, as well as the June security update as well. Perhaps one of the highlights of the new update is the fix for Fingerprint Unlock that was not working on some Pixel smartphones. Of course, there are still plenty of issues that Google is aware of exist in the beta, and will continue to fix them as the beta program progresses. But for now, if you are on Android 14 beta, you can head to your settings to get the new OTA update.
Since this is not a major update, it comes in a relatively small size at 66.80MB. If you’re currently running the Android 14 beta, you’ll need to head over to settings menu, go to System Settings, then go to File system update to divide. If you don’t see it right away, refresh the list, and it will prompt you to install update UPB3.230519.014. Make sure you have plenty of battery life, or keep your phone plugged in before you start. Although the download process will be quick, the installation may take some time, depending on your device.
as far as NotesGoogle lists two fixes:
- Fixed issues where Fingerprint Unlock was either unavailable or unusable on some devices. (Issue 284,360,298And Issue 284,529,436And Issue 284436572)
- Fixed platform compatibility issues that were affecting mapping of SDK packages, which caused dependent apps to crash in some cases.
Of course, if you don’t see it right away, don’t panic because the update is being rolled out in phases. Google states that it can take up to a week to get the update, so be patient. If you’re not currently in beta, you can sign up for the Android Beta Program as long as you have a compatible device. As of now, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, and 5a devices are compatible with Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 series devices. If you don’t want to sign up and download the update over-the-air, you can always download updates and install Android 14 manually.
