Google released the second beta version of Android 15 QPR1 on Thursday, bringing a slew of user-facing changes. While generally stable for daily use, the update has encountered a few bugs.
One of the most notable issues affects Pixel Screenshots. The feature is no longer automatically processing captures, leading to a lack of app recognition and deep linking. Users also report that screenshots are not processed by Gemini Nano until manually initiated, despite occasional overnight processing.
Additionally, some users have experienced issues with the lockscreen shortcuts, requiring reconfiguration after a reboot. The lockscreen camera also exhibits strange behavior, relaunching after closing through the gesture handle.
Despite these bugs, the beta is considered usable for everyday tasks. However, users should be aware of these issues and anticipate potential workarounds. Google is expected to address these bugs in future beta releases before the final stable version.
