In a sign that Google plans to follow last year’s early release cadences for the preview of the next release of its mobile operating system, the Android Beta Feedback app was updated to Android 12 via the Play Store on Thursday.
With Android 10 / Q in 2019, Google made an Android Beta Feedback app available so users could report bugs without visiting the bug tracker website. It appears automatically when you install the developer preview / beta, while the client was also used last year.
Google asks you to uninstall the app after the year’s preview program. Users who have kept it on their device were greeted on February 4th with an update of version 2.15-betterbug.external_20201211_RC02 – previously 2.11.
The Feedback app is currently unusable and does not explicitly indicate the Android 12 Developer Preview / Beta. That said, this is a pretty good indication that it will be launched soon and will probably be available again a month early. Last year’s Android 11 DP was notable for launching in February instead of March.
Thank you for participating in the Android Beta app. The app has been finalized and at this time we no longer accept feedback via the app.
Google has probably also updated it with new features to improve the feedback process, but this is not clear as the corresponding issue number is not yet available.
