This new update is being rolled out to eligible devices over-the-air (OTA) and will be automatically installed within five days.

It is worth reiterating that the Android 14 Beta builds are still under development. Although by trying out beta software you do get to enjoy some new features early, you may also experience some bugs or glitches. If you're not comfortable with that, you should remain with the official release of Android 14.
