Android 17 QPR1 Beta 6 makes desktop windowing feel more like a real PC

TL;DR

• Android 17 QPR1 Beta 6 improves desktop windowing by moving the taskbar and letting PiP windows float freely.


• Health Connect can now automatically track distance and calories in addition to steps using supported device sensors.


• The update also includes a cleaner Pixel Launcher context menu design and fixes bugs, including one affecting multiple spell checker language selections.

Google has started rolling out Android 17 QPR1 Beta 6 to eligible Pixel devices, bringing another round of bug fixes alongside a handful of quality-of-life improvements. The update carries build number CP31.260618.005 and addresses several issues reported by beta testers. However, beyond the bug fixes, Beta 6 also introduces a few noteworthy features for Android’s desktop windowing experience.

Desktop windowing continues to receive polish as Google works toward making Android a more capable desktop operating system. Google’s Mishaal Rahman points out that the latest beta brings the taskbar icons from the bottom center of the screen to the bottom-left corner, giving the interface a more traditional desktop-like layout.
