The Quick Share update makes it easier to share contact info and files between Pixel devices, and soon, Samsung phones.
Google has released Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 for Pixel devices on a Friday, following the first release of the week. This update includes a new security feature aimed at preventing call forwarding fraud. To report any issues, users can utilize the Android Beta Feedback app on their Pixel devices, accessible through the application drawer or Quick Settings.
Additional resources include the Android Beta community on Reddit. The system images for Android 17 QPR2 Beta 3 are available for a wide range of Pixel devices, ranging from the Pixel 6a to the Pixel 10a, as well as the Android Emulator. Users can join the program and receive over-the-air updates directly to their devices.
