- Google、ベータプログラム「Android 12 Beta」を 2021 年 12 月以降も継続へ
- これまでは正式版 Android OS がリリースと当時にベータプログラムは一旦閉鎖されてきた
- 現在「Android 12 Beta」に登録している場合でも 2021 年 12 月までに登録解除することで初期化不要で正式版「Android 12」を継続利用可能
Google は 2021 年 10 月 19 日、次世代 Google Pixel スマートフォン「Pixel 6」「Pixel 6 Pro」の正式発表と正式版「Android 12」の Google Pixel 先行リリースに合わせて、ベータプログラム「Android 12 Beta」を 2021 年 12 月以降も継続して提供すると発表しました。
これまでは正式版 Android OS がリリースされるとベータプログラム「Android Beta Program」は次期 Android OS に向けて一旦閉じられてきたのですが、「Android 12」では 2021 年 12 月以降、継続的に「Android 12 Beta」におけるプレリリースアップデートが行われる模様です。
もし現在「Android 12 Beta」に登録済みで、正式版「Android 12」アップデート後にそのま正式版「Android 12」のまま使い続けたい場合は、2021 年 12 月 1 日までに「Android 12 Beta」の登録を解除することで、初期化されることなく正式版「Android 12」のままを使い続けることが出来る模様です。
https://www.google.com/android/beta?hl=ja 2021 年 12 月 1 日以降も「Android 12 Beta」に登録している場合は「Android 12 Beta」プレリリースアップデートが配信されるため、そこから「Android 12 Beta」を解除するとデバイスを一旦初期化して正式版「Android 12」に戻す必要が出てきます。ご注意ください。
Android 12 is here!
Hi Beta Pixel users,
We’re excited to announce that Android 12 will begin rolling out worldwide to Pixel devices starting today! THANK YOU for contributing your thoughts and experiences throughout the Beta and collectively reporting over 50,000 issues to help improve the quality of the release. Your engagement and support helped make a better platform for everyone!
What’s new?
Android 12 features a new personalized look with Material You including new widgets and notification design, privacy dashboard and security enhancements, scrolling screenshots, Nearby share (Wi-Fi credential sharing), and more. For details, check out our Keyword blog for consumers, and developer blog and d.android.com/12 for developers.
How do I get Android 12?
Android 12 will begin rolling out to Pixel devices today and to Samsung Galaxy, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Tecno, Vivo, Xiaomi devices, and more over the coming months. If you have a Pixel 3, 3a, 4, 4a, 5, and 5a series device enrolled in this year’s beta program, watch for the over-the-air (OTA) update arriving today! As always, the system images for Pixel devices are available here for manual download and flash.
Note: Once you install the official Android 12 update, you will no longer be able to downgrade to Android 11 via OTA. Once you update and install this official release, any time you unenroll from the Beta your device will not get wiped if done before December 1st. See details below.
What’s next for Android 12 Beta program?
You now have the opportunity to continue in the beta program on your Pixel device(s) and receive ongoing Android 12 pre-release updates including feature drops, bug fixes, and improvements to stability and performance ahead of the public release schedule starting in December.
Important: If you prefer to leave the beta program for Pixel and return to the public stable track of Android 12, you have a window of opportunity to unenroll without wiping your device. Please update and install today’s official release and then unenroll by December 1st before the next beta update releases. This will ensure your device will not get wiped during opt-out.
If you take no action and keep your Pixel device enrolled in the beta program, you will automatically get the next Android 12 beta updates starting in December. If you opt-out of the program after installing the December beta update, all user data on the device will get wiped per usual program guidelines.
The Android Beta issue tracker and Beta Feedback app are closed, but please keep the feedback coming! You can file a new issue against Android 12 in the AOSP issue tracker or share your thoughts via our Pixel Reddit community or official support channels.
We will continue to post updates and information on the upcoming December Android Beta release here in this community at which point the Beta feedback channels (issue tracker and Feedback app) will be made available.
