I think I may actually jump in and test the public beta for Android P later today . You can opt-in / out below.

Please remember to note the below.

Thanks to "Itsa_Me_Mario" for pointing this out to me !

I forget....does that mean we lose the monthly updates until beta goes final?

One huge thing for me is that the multi touch bug that plagues FPS games like PUBG is finally fixed. No longer have to worry about the camera spazzing out when there's more than one finger on the screen.

Oh ha ha .

For whatever reason swipe gestures aren't there on mine, still show three buttons. I'm not seeing any option in settings to turn that on either.

Correct... though the next update is in June, approximately June 11th, which should include the June 5 patch. After that, there's supposed to be one near the end of that month and then another near the end of July, just before final release. That means we'll probably not get the July update until nearly August and won't get the August update until we upgrade to the real final release.

Settings > system > gestures

It's called "swipe up from home button".

Yep thanks just found out myself as well

I'm really loving Android P guys. Was a little iffy at some of the gesture implementation, but it's actually really nice. I always hated on my iPhone X how I had to long press on a card from the multitasking screen in order to swipe it away. Google just made it a ton more convenient (although I do wish a "clear all" button was somewhere to be found).

@Almeuit let me know if you want this somewhere else, but here's the list of devices that will get it:

and here's the link to system images (must have unlockable bootloader to flash):

Agreed. I know why it's gone and I agree with why it's gone, but I also like knowing it's an option.

I will add it to my OP.

More importantly, the frosted dock is gone in both light and dark mode.

I don't do Betas, but admittedly this one looks tempting. Nonetheless, I think I will choose to live vicariously through these posts until the fully baked final version hits.

...tempted as hell, though...

I jumped off the last Beta because Android Auto was spotty. Hopefully this one isn't flakey
