Now, two more weeks down the line, it\u2019s time for Beta 3 to arrive. We first heard it was on the way a few hours back, when Google shared on the Android Developers Blog that Beta 3 was landing with \u201ca minor SDK release to support a few features that just couldn\u2019t wait for QPR2.\u201d While we didn\u2019t see it at first, the release is now finally available for testers to install.<\/p>\n<p>There are two revisions out today: CP31.260508.005.A1 for Pixel 6 and 7 models, and CP31.260508.005 for more recent hardware. If you\u2019re already on the testing track, you should be getting a notification about your update when it\u2019s ready to install. If you\u2019re just looking to get started now, the easiest way is to register your device with the Android Beta Program.<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s Mishaal Rahman notes over on X that today\u2019s build includes a springy new notification animation, modified screen recorder behavior, and just a whole, whole lot of that definitely-not-Liquid-Glass blur across the UI.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the fixes Google says are present in this release:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"auto\">A recurring system error in ContextHubClientManager that caused excessive logcat noise when attempting to send messages to unregistered clients.
