TL;DR
- The Android 14 QPR1 beta 2 exhibits a revamped Google Pixel “Examine for Updates” web page.
- Gone is the uninteresting, text-heavy web page with a colourful, useful web page instead.
- This may seemingly roll out to Pixels in December with that month’s Characteristic Drop.
In your Google Pixel telephone proper now, in case you head to Settings > System > System replace, you’ll get to a web page that has a bunch of textual content and a button on the backside that claims “Examine for Updates.” That is, fairly probably, probably the most boring web page design ever. It’s actually simply textual content and a button. But, this is among the most vital pages in Settings because it offers you the data you want about your newest safety patch, Android model, and, most crucially, whether or not or not there’s an replace ready for you.
Fortunately, the Google Pixel “Examine for Updates” web page is lastly getting a refresh (through Mishaal Rahman on X, with help from Nail_Sadykov_). Within the newest Android 14 QPR1 beta 2, we will see the way it seems to be. Spoiler alert: it’s much more fascinating.
Google Pixel “Examine for Updates” web page
As you possibly can see within the screenshots above, there are modifications even earlier than you get to the “Examine for Updates” web page. “System replace” on the Settings web page is now “Software program updates,” and the textual content beneath that heading modified from “Up to date to Android XX” (the place XX is your Android model) to “Preserve your Pixel updated.”
Tapping that heading takes you to the brand new web page. The web page is titled “Your Pixel is updated,” and has a colourful design beneath it. We assume this design can be completely different in case you weren’t up-to-date, however we will’t know for sure but.
Under that, there’s a field for the newest Pixel replace, the newest system replace, the newest Google Play system replace, and a hyperlink to verify for app updates.
This all is smart! And it’s a lot nicer! It’s now a one-stop store for all of your software program updates and provides you a glanceable have a look at whether or not or not you might be behind on one thing. Good.
This new Google Pixel “Examine for Updates” redesign ought to roll out in December this 12 months. That’s after we anticipate the subsequent Pixel Characteristic Drop.
