Google rolling out Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 patch 

Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 is rolling out to Pixel devices today. This patch comes almost four weeks after the last release, and is surprisingly not Beta 3.

• CP11.251209.009: Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, and 7 Pro
• CP11.251209.009.A1: All remaining devices

The last update was CP11.251209.007.A1. Google’s release notes do not identify what has been fixed.

The OTA is a rather significant 123 MB on a Pixel 9a, and 98.39 MB on the Pixel 10.

OTA images are also available, with the Pixel 10 series once again left out.
