How to Take Part in Google Play's Android App Beta Programs

July 22, 2022

Developers want to test a feature on a limited group of people before making it available to everyone in order to find any issues and get feedback. By signing up for beta programs for such Android applications, advanced users can stay ahead of the curve and test out new features before the general public. Let's examine how you may sign up for the Android app beta program as well.

Why would you want to take part in a beta program for an app?

Beta programs offer some pretty amazing advantages, as was already said. For instance, the majority of Google's applications provide an Android beta program. This suggests that any Android user can enroll in the beta program and have access to recent updates of applications that haven't yet been fully made available to the general public.

Get early access to applications that haven't been published yet

Open the Google Play Store.
Choose the "For you" tab.
Under "Apps in Development," tap the game you want to try.
You should choose Install.
Observe the instructions on the screen.
Installing an unreleased app can immediately sign you up for the beta program once it becomes available.

Obtain early access to unreleased games

Google Play Store should be opened.
Choose the "New" tab.
Under "Be the first to play," tap the game you want to try.
Install ought to be chosen.
Observe the prompts on the screen.

Get beta versions of apps

It's important to note that you must already have the app installed on your smartphone in order to access the beta version.

Google Play Store should be opened.
In the upper right corner, tap the profile symbol.
Tap Installed, then Manage apps & devices.
Tap it to access the app's detail page.
Under "Join the beta," tap Join and then Join.

If "Join the beta" isn't present, the software's developer doesn't currently have a public beta available.

The Best Way to Leave a Beta Program

Visit the Play Store and go back to the app page to end the beta program. To view the Leave option, scroll down. After selecting Leave in the pop-up, tap it once more to confirm. A fresh update will push the app's stable release to you.

You will only see the Join the beta area link if the developer is conducting a beta test on the Play Store. Depending on their needs, developers can test beta in a variety of ways. As a result, not all installed applications can be found in beta form on the Play Store. On the other side, some programs could have a Join the beta area but still show a message claiming the beta is full.
