Google Tweaks Android 17 QPR1 Beta 6 Menus, Adds Health Connect Activity Tracking
3 articles · Updated · Droid Life · Jul 2
Summary
Android 17 QPR1 Beta 6 adds two visible changes on Pixel devices: cleaner pop-up menus and Health Connect tracking for steps, distance and calories.
Google reshaped some pop-up menus into a single, more minimal bubble with the spacing between options removed, continuing recent Android 17 UI refinements.
Health Connect now alerts users on first boot that it can track and store activity data, expanding the app beyond its earlier health-data syncing role.
The update follows Beta 6's broader bug-fix release and arrives as Android 17 QPR1 reaches platform stability ahead of a stable launch in the coming months.
