12L Beta 3: the last beta, now on Pixel 6

9 February 2022. The final 12L beta reached the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro for the first time, with the February patch and fixes for At a glance, the screen-off animation and split screen.

Beta 3 came out on 9 February 2022 and was the last 12L beta. It was the first 12L build for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. Like Beta 2, it has no blog post; the date and build come from Google’s 12L release notes.

Release date9 February 2022
BuildS2B3.220205.007.A1
Security patchFebruary 2022
DevicesPixel 3a, 4, 4a, 5, 5a and 6 series; Android Emulator; GSI

Google listed three fixes: weather missing from the At a glance widget, a screen-off animation that did not always play, and launcher crashes when entering split screen with “Pin to Top”.

Pixel 6 phones that took the newer February update, SQ1D.220205.004, could not install Beta 3. 9to5Google quoted Google saying those phones would get “the next upcoming beta build release in March” instead. Google’s release notes do not list a March build, so this note does not count one as a milestone. The final release followed on 7 March 2022.
