If I had left the program any time prior to installing the official, public build of 8.1, I would have been forced to factory reset my phone.We keep sharing with you fixes of several issues that we experience on our Android devices. My device is running the same exact build as those who didn't participate in the beta program, thus no device reset is needed. Instead of my device showing a pending update, there were no further steps required on my part. Once the official build of Android 8.1 was installed on my Pixel 2 XL, I unenrolled from the program. A couple of weeks ago, Google made Android 8.1 official and released it to the public. The key is to leave the beta program when you have a current official version of Android installed on your device, not in the middle of a beta.įor example, Google launched the Android Oreo 8.1 beta program awhile back, and I promptly enrolled a Pixel 2 XL ( $235 at Amazon) in the program. In fact, I recently left the program with a hope and a prayer I wouldn't have to factory-reset my phone in the process. Unfortunately, it's not very clear on the beta program website. There is, however, a way to get out of the beta program and not have to set up your phone, tablet or watch from scratch. Indeed, you still click on a button and install an update, but at the end of that process your Android device has been factory-reset and everything on it is gone.
Leaving the program, however, isn't as seamless.
