Google is rolling out the stable Android 14 QPR2 update alongside the March Pixel feature drop. It carries the March 2024 security patch for the Pixel 5a, Pixel 6 series, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 series, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, and the Pixel 8 lineup. You also get a number of new features and fixes across the board (h/t 9to5Google).
The Bluetooth Quick Settings Tile can now expand to show a list of up to three devices. Apart from viewing the battery status of paired Bluetooth devices, you can also now see and switch between other Saved accessories.
The Android 14 QPR2 update also features a new look for the Pixel volume slider and a new “Share Wi-Fi” shortcut in the Internet Quick Settings Tile.
The Microphone and Camera privacy indicators get a “Close this app” shortcut that lets you quickly shut apps using sensors.
Elsewhere, the Pixel Weather lockscreen clock now displays symbols for when your phone is on Do Not Disturb (DND) mode or when an alarm has been set.
The Pixel Launcher grid has also been updated to show two lines of app names. Going to Settings > System > Software updates now shows a refreshed “Your Pixel is up to date” screen that also links to the Play Store’s “Manage apps & device” page.
The Android 14 QPR2 update also brings a number of fixes for the Pixel 8 series and other recent Pixel devices. Below is the complete changelog:
