As it was only the first Monday of the month, Google released the latest Android monthly update for its still supported Pixels a few hours ago. The November 2022 update is the last minor one before the biggest December release, which has been in open beta testing for a few weeks under the Android 13 nickname QPR1. This too received an update today.
Let’s start with the stable branch, though. If you own a Pixel that still gets updates, in the next few days (or weeks – Google’s phased rollouts can be very slow) you’ll receive the November Update, which has build number TP1A.221105.002 for all devices except Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, which get TD1A.221105.003 on Verizon and TD1A.221105.001 everywhere.
The update brings with it fixes for an issue that caused increased power consumption when installing some apps on the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6a, and a couple of patches for issues only found on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro – one that occasionally caused a green display flickering and one that sometimes caused the Photos app to crash while using some of its editing features. Additionally, the display’s power consumption has been optimized to improve thermals under certain conditions on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.
Moving on to the beta track, the latest Android 13 QPR1 Beta 3.1 comes with a lot of issues and bugs fixed as we get closer and closer to QPR1 Beta which becomes the big “drop in features” of December. There may be another beta until then, however. Anyway, if your Pixel is on the QPR1 beta train, it will soon receive this latest build (software version T1B3.221003.008).
