- Many Pixel owners have complained about Microsoft Office apps not functioning properly on their devices.
- The issue particularly affects those running Android 16 QPR3 beta.
- While Google has acknoledged the issue, and claimed to fix it with the latest beta last week, the issue still persists.
When Google pushed out the Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2 update for Pixel 6 and newer devices last week, it shared a long list of fixes that the update brough. The changelog also mentioned that issue of Microsoft apps randomly crashing on previous versions was also fixed. Despite this, however, several users have reported the issues still persist. That could be frustrating, especially as Google emdorses Android QPR beta updates — unlike the pre-release betas — fit for regular use.
A large number of reports on the Android beta subreddit as well as Google’s Issue Tracker still echo that the bug hasn’t been fixed even after Google claims it has been. The degree to which it affects different people varies, though. For some, only certain Microsoft apps, such as Teams, crash abruptly while for some others it’s larger mix of apps. In addition to Microsoft Office apps, some users also complain about facing issues with the Microsoft Launcher on Android.
