“Warning: The Android 13 update for Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a contains a bootloader update that increases the anti-roll back version,” the notice reads. “After you flash an Android 13 build on these devices, you won’t be able to flash older Android 12 builds.” Additionally, if you’re in the Android 13 beta testing group and want to get out of the accelerated update cycle without wiping your device — usually a necessary step to get out of the queue — now is the time to do it. Once your phone is updated to the latest version of Android, just visit Google’s beta site and unsubscribe. On the other hand, if you stay on the beta team, then you’ll get early access to test builds of future Feature Drops for Android 13. Android 13 comes with some nice new features, like improved customization tools and a new permission option to reduce notifications. Right now, the rollout is just rolling out to Pixels, but it’s expected to roll out to devices from other vendors like Samsung and OnePlus later this year.
