About Android 13 QPR2
Following the stable release of Android 13 to AOSP, we continue to update the platform with fixes and improvements that are then rolled out to supported devices. These releases happen on a quarterly cadence through
Quarterly Platform Releases (QPRs), which are delivered both to AOSP and to Google Pixel devices as part of
Feature Drops.
Although these updates don't include app-impacting API changes, we provide images of the latest QPR beta builds so you can test your app with these builds as needed.
Unlike developer previews and betas for unreleased versions of Android, these builds are suitable for general use. However, please review any known issues that are listed on this page.
Android 13 QPR2 builds on the updates in Android 13 QPR1 and the
Android 13 initial release and includes the next round of refinements such as bug fixes and improvements to stability and performance.
