Released two weeks after Beta 1, the update reaches compatible Pixel 6 through Pixel 10 devices, including Fold and Tablet models, with a renamed Privacy dashboard label and a new Quick Settings edit icon.
Fixes cover Terminal app launch failures, lock-screen overlap, incorrect signal bars, enlarged themed icons, recent-apps glitches, broken swipe gestures, Bluetooth tethering resets and an F2FS bug linked to data corruption or instability.
