Subsequent to the arrival of the first Android 12 developer preview update earlier this year, Google’s forthcoming mobile OS is right now on its second public beta.
Presently, we realize that the Android 12 beta is “by far” the most downloaded/installed beta of Android ever.
We have effectively experienced the different new features that are accompanying Android 12, which includes; Wallpaper-based Theming System, Privacy Dashboard and Privacy Indicators, Improved Notification Shade, Redesigned Quick Settings, Media Player Revamp, One-Handed Mode, Redesigned Power Menu, Redesigned Lock Screen, Revamped Settings App, Clipboard Access Alerts, etc.
On the occasion of the release of Android 12 Beta 2, Dave Burke (VP of Engineering, Android) took to Twitter to share that the Android 12 beta is by far the most downloaded/installed one ever. He doesn’t offer any detailed stats alongside that claim, so we won’t be able to quantify what “most” means — but it would’ve been interesting to see just how many eager souls are out there.
However, as per a recent tweet by Dave Burke (Twitter/@davey_burke), the Vice President of Engineering for Android at Google, “Android 12’s beta is by far our most downloaded/ installed beta ever”. You can check out the tweet right below.

Now, although Burke says that Android 12 is the most downloaded and installed beta in the company’s history, no numbers were provided by the engineer. As a result, we do not know exactly know how many devices are currently running the Android 12 beta. You can check out whether your device will get the Android 12 update or not via the linked article.
So, with that aside, if you are currently using a Pixel device, you can download and run the Android 12 beta 2, which Google released recently. You can check out our in-depth guide on how to install and run Android 12 beta on your Pixel via the corresponding link.
Do share your experience with us about the Android 12 beta update in the comment section below. However, it is worth mentioning that beta versions might contain major bugs. So, try downloading it on a device other than your daily driver.
