"Android 14 QPR1 Beta 1: Google Wallet fixed, new gesture for search bar, and more!"
The first beta of Android 14 QPR1 for Pixel phones has a bug that prevents Google Wallet from functioning properly, displaying an error message stating that the device doesn't meet security requirements and blocking tap-to-pay functionality. While existing cards for NFC payments still work, users are unable to add new cards. However, Google has since released updates to fix the issue, and Google Wallet is now working again on affected devices. Users are advised to avoid installing Android 14 QPR1 until the bug is fixed in forthcoming updates.
