WARNING

The beta releases are generally safe for all users to install and are typically more stable than the earlier Developer Previews. However, they are still very much test versions of Android which would cause you to run into weird bugs.

Most importantly, you won’t be able to opt out of the Android 13 Beta Program and return to Android 12 without doing a factory reset. Make sure to back up any data on your device before returning to a public version of Android 12.
