And right now, for at least some testers, that includes Quick Share.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, we\u2019re not seeing this problem consistently across all devices. On a Pixel 9a running QPR3 Beta 2, for instance, we\u2019re not experiencing any unexpected crashes.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the closest we\u2019ve come to narrowing down the scope of the problem arrives via a post in Reddit\u2019s Android Beta sub from user <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/android_beta\/comments\/1qdbab9\/comment\/o028ddu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Being_Nabnit<\/a> last week, where they write about seeing the availability of a Quick Share extension update for their Pixel 9 Pro, but attempting to install it produces an error message.<\/p>\n<p>Are you having Quick Share problems with Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2?<\/p>\n<p>6 votes<\/p>\n<p>Not that I&#8217;ve noticed, no.<\/p>\n<p>67%<\/p>\n<p>Yup, Quick Share is crashing for me.<\/p>\n<p>33%<\/p>\n<p>While the ball is in Google\u2019s court to get to the bottom of this and sort out Quick Share for everyone, we\u2019re still curious: Just how widespread is this? Well, if you\u2019re also testing QPR3 Beta 2, we want to hear from you.<\/p>\n<p>Take a moment to interact with our poll above and let us know if Quick Share\u2019s been smooth sailing for you, or if you\u2019re now running into crashes with QPR3 Beta 2. Especially in the latter case, we\u2019d appreciate it if you could jump down to our comment section below and quickly drop a note telling us what phone you\u2019re using, and what device you were trying to share with. Hopefully that can help us get a better handle on just what\u2019s going wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
