"A few days ago, Google said it would soon release the first Android 17 beta, and it did, but it was also quick to halt the release without any explanation. Well, the good news is that Google has resumed releasing Android 17 Beta 1, and it's now available for Pixel devices. Google says this build continues its work for more adaptable Android apps and brings significant enhancements to camera and media capabilities."
"Google has also replaced Developer Previews with Android Canary, which was introduced last year. The continuous Canary channel offers three main benefits listed below: Faster Access: Features and APIs land in Canary as soon as they pass internal testing, rather than waiting for a quarterly release. Better Stability: Early "battle-testing" in Canary results in a more polished Beta experience with new APIs and behavior changes that are closer to being final."
"In addition to announcing the release of the first Android 17 beta, Google also announced that it will quickly move from this beta to its Platform Stability milestone, targeted for next month. The internet search giant also talked about its plans for quarterly Android 17 updates, meaning the next release will arrive in Q2 2026, and it's the one with which Google will introduce planned app-breaking behaviour changes. A minor SDK release is planned for Q4."
Google resumed release of Android 17 Beta 1, making the build available for Pixel devices. The build advances support for adaptable Android apps and brings camera and media enhancements. Android 17 expands companion profiles and adds tools to optimize connectivity. Developer Previews have been replaced by Android Canary, a channel that delivers features earlier, improves stability through early testing, and simplifies testing with OTA updates and CI integration. Google aims to reach Platform Stability next month, plans quarterly Android 17 updates with app-breaking changes arriving in Q2 2026, and schedules a minor SDK release in Q4. Pixel users enrolled in the beta will receive Beta 1 as an OTA.
