  • Google has released Android 15 Beta 4.2 and says Android 15 QPR1 Beta 1 is right around the corner.
  • If you unenroll from the Beta Program before QPR1 Beta 1 is released, you’ll automatically get the stable Android 15 update when it rolls out.
  • You can avoid the need to wipe your data when exiting the program by opting out and ignoring the downgrade OTA update.

Since the release of the first Developer Preview, the development of Android 15 has stayed on course with Google’s timeline without a hiccup. If you’ve been trying out the new OS through the Beta Program, but want to jump on to the stable release when it rolls out, the time to get off is now. This is especially the case if you want to enjoy the stable Android 15 update without having to wipe your data first.

Google announced that it has released Android 15 Beta 4.2, which will be the final preview release before the stable launch. It adds that the next Beta Program cycle will focus on Android 15 Quarterly Platform Release 1 (QPR1) Beta 1. The company says that the QPR1 Beta 1 update will start soon, providing bug fixes and improvements to stability and performance.
