Android 14 beta causing some issues
The new Android version is currently available in beta for compatible Pixel phones.
Pixel users running the Android 14 beta version are unable to use the Messages app on their devices. The new beta version is crashing the Messages app, and won’t open even if the Pixel phone is set to the Lite theme.
The issue is limited to the Android 14 beta version for now, and interestingly, some users found the Messages app open in dark mode and still won’t let you access the Messages app.
This bizarre situation has prompted many to uninstall the Android 14 beta update, while some have considered skipping the beta program and getting the stable release on Pixel phones. The issue has been spotted in beta version “20230428_01_RC00” and it is imperative that Google fixes the issue, otherwise it risks losing many beta testers because of the issue.
Developers and testers have been suggested to long press the Messages app, click on App Info and uninstall updates so that the app works as before. But even these steps have not had the desired effect.
So now it’s up to Google to fix the matter and 48 hours later, the company has released a new beta version of Android 14 that fixes the Messages app crashing issue. People can now safely install the update via the Play Store and use the Messages app on their Pixel phones as normal.
The Android 14 beta is currently available for compatible Pixel devices, starting with the Pixel 4 series. Nothing is bringing the beta version to your Phone 1 device anytime soon. Google will talk more about Android 14 at the I/O 2023 keynote next week.
As per reports, the new version is looking to strengthen the privacy features of Android and add more utility tools. Apart from Android 14, Google is expected to showcase the new Pixel 7a smartphone as well as the Pixel Fold device for the first time.
