Google rolls out Android 13 beta 2.1 Update For Pixel smartphones
Google has rolled out a new beta of Android 13, version 2.1. Rather than adding new features, this release only fixes a few bugs on Pixel smartphones.
After an initial public beta released last April, it’s been about two weeks since Google rolled out Android 13 Beta 2 at its annual Google I/O conference, bringing with it some new changes for the next major Android release.

This makes several weeks that Pixel smartphones are dealing with stability issues and that’s exactly what this new 2.1 update is trying to correct.
