Following therelease of the first Android 12 developer previewupdate earlier this year, Google’s upcoming mobile OS is currently on its second public beta. We have already got a taste of thevarious new featuresthat are coming with Android 12. And now we know that the Android 12 beta is“by far”the most downloaded/ installed beta of Android ever.

When a new developer preview or beta version of Android 12 releases, the community jumps on to find the new features as well as the hidden codes of potential upcoming features. However, there are some data that the community cannot access or know. For instance, the download statistics such as how many devices are currently running the Android 12 betas are strictly exclusive to Google and its employees.

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.
