How to Install the New Android O Beta on your Android Today

The Android O beta is officially available online. Today, Pixel and Nexus users can check it out before the full version is officially released to the public. Find out how to use Android O before anyone else today. You’ll need to sign up for Google’s Android Beta Program and have one of three devices: a Nexus 5X, 6P, or any Pixel phone. With that in mind, let’s get started.

Method 1) Enroll in the Android Beta Program

Step 1) Sign up for the Android Beta Program here. Google is currently accepting those with “pure Android” handsets, which includes owners of a 5X, 6P, or Pixel smartphone. Additionally, you can access the Android Beta Program through a Pixel C tablet or a Nexus Player set-top box. After you visit the website linked above, you’ll need to log in with your Google account, then read through the terms. Google warns you that updates may contain errors – so it’s a good idea to back up your device before you begin. Step 2) Scroll down to a see a list of your eligible devices. Click the Enroll device button next to the handset you wish to enroll. Step 3) That’s it! If there’s no new beta, then your phone will work as normal.

Alternatively, if you’re impatient, you can scroll down to the About tab in Settings, then select system updates. The update will be installed over the air normally. Eventually, the beta version of Android you’re testing will be released to the public in its final form. When that occurs, your device will automatically install the latest, cleanest version of Android. You can uninstall the latest Android update by repeating the steps listed above, but clicking unenroll from the Android Beta Program website. However, this will wipe all data from your device – so you’ll want to backup before you do this.
