• Fixed an issue where the device's GPU driver would sometimes cause the system UI to freeze during normal device use.

• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the Google Camera app to crash.

• Fixed an issue preventing Google Assistant from being activated by launch commands on some devices.

• Fixed an issue preventing motion-based gestures such as "lift to answer" or "flip to mute" from working on some devices.

• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused display artifacts when recording or viewing video on certain devices.

• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the Google Camera app to launch slowly.

• Fixed an issue that sometimes caused CarrierSettings to crash when inserting a SIM card on Pixel 6a devices.

• Fixed an issue that prevented the "Go to Browser" option in the notification bar from working when using an instant app.

The Android 13 QPR1 Beta update showcases some of the new features in the upcoming Feature Drops for Pixel phones. Feature Drops are quarterly updates for Pixel smartphones that bring tons of features to the device. The next update is expected in December.
