Android 16

I was on Beta 16 and exited before downloading QPR1 Beta1. I remember reading that if I exit, I'll get the "prod" Android 16 release once it's available. However, my phone (Pixel 7 Pro) still indicates that I need to install Android 15 with a data wipe in the system update section.

thoughts?
Never heard that before, you will have to opt out, then when you check for updates, it will detect the latest / stable version of Android 16 but it will wipe your phone. I'm never joining Android Beta anymore

It will wipe if you're on beta 16qpr1 and go stable , if you are on 16 qpr1 go to the Google site and unroll out of beta and see if it will take you to stable without a wipe

Thanks. I did opt out of Beta already.

When I go to https://www.google.com/android/beta#devices, it shows my Pixel 7 pro as "Not Enrolled".

The update section shows this on the phone:

No way for me to force check for updates either.

So I enrolled into Android 16 Beta again and this game up:

I went back into Android Beta and un-enrolled the device. Waiting for the System Update to refresh to see what it'll show.

Thanks
 
FWIW, the update downloaded and installed -- slowly but uneventfully -- on my P9PXL last evening, and my device now shows that I'm on Android 16. No betas were harmed or otherwise involved in the implementation of this update.

I'm still on official 16 when I opt in it shows beta QPR1 but no update available yet, maybe because I'm official 16 ? Why doesn't it show to jump to Android 16 QPR2 when I try to opt in but only QPR1?
That's odd. I might give it couple of days before I decide to either wipe and go 16 official or just go to 16 QPR1 beta.
