For a long time, Google has been working on its upcoming primary operating system, Android 14. While the company should have released the stable version of the update already, Google delayed the launch of Android 14 and brings more beta versions to fix bugs on Pixel devices. Today, the brand released the Android 14 Beta 5.3 with a lot of Pixel bug fixes. Here are the details about the Android 14 Beta 5.3 update…
