Beta test the Google app for Android

If you want to try experimental features of the Google app before they’re released, you can join the beta tester program. As a beta tester, you’ll become an important part of the app’s development.

Your participation and feedback will help us release a better version of the app.

What you need

  • An Android phone or tablet
  • A beta version of the Google app
    • You can download the beta version after you sign up as a beta tester.
      Important: You can have only one version of the Google app installed.
