Apart from the monthly security patches and quarterly Feature Drops, Google also rolls out Quarterly Platform Releases, more popularly known as QPR. These are the beta builds for the current stable OS which was first released for the users who gave voluntarily signed up to become beta testers. Upon receiving feedback from these testers, Google irons out the underlying bugs and then rolls them for the general audiences as a stable build.
Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1: Notifications overlapping with Quick Settings
Being a beta build, it is near about on the obvious lines that these versions will accompany a few bugs and performance-related issues. In this regard, the latest Android 13 QPR3 Beta 1 build has a rather intriguing issue wherein the Notifications tend to overlap with Quick Settings. Generally, there is a space between the first notification and the quick setting section.
However, due to the bug, that space has now been taken by the notification. As. result of which, the line of separation has been removed and the notifications tend to overlap the last row of the quick settings toggle. While it wouldn’t lead to any negative impact on either of the two [both of them are still working well and good], but it definitely leaves a negative impression on the UI/UX front.
With that said, the feedback regarding this issue of notifications overlapping with Quick SettingsAndroid 13 QPR3 Beta 1 build has already reached the concerned product and engineering team and a patch might already be around the corner, most noticeable with the next update.
As and when that happens, we will update this post accordingly. However, if this bug is proving to be quite a nuisance and you cannot wait for that time frame, then your best bet is to leave the QPR beta testing group and revert to the stable OS. However, do keep in mind that doing so will wipe off all the data on your device.
