Google has released Android 17 QPR3 Beta 3, bringing notable enhancements and stability improvements to the ongoing testing cycle. The latest beta build focuses on refining the user experience while bringing back a much-requested security feature.
Chief among the updates is the return of native app lock support. This tool allows users to secure individual applications behind biometric authentication or screen lock credentials, adding an extra layer of on-device privacy that testers had missed in earlier iterations.
In addition to the returning security feature, the beta delivers dozens of bug fixes addressing various system glitches and performance hiccups. These under-the-hood adjustments are intended to ensure greater overall platform stability as the software progresses closer to a stable public release.
Eligible enrolled devices can download the latest beta build over the air. For full details on the update and complete release notes, check the original coverage on Android Authority.
