Google has released Android 17 Beta 4, the last beta update ahead of the full release, and it introduces a fun new Easter egg that features a quick connect‑the‑dots puzzle to start a new animation.

Finally updating the last Easter egg that debuted with Android 14, Google’s new Easter egg in Android 17 opens to a blank page showing a ring of diamond‑shaped dots. You string these together in the world’s quickest game of connect‑the‑dots, at which point the Android 17 logo appears and moves forward through space.

Long‑pressing on the logo starts vibrating the phone to mimic a rocket launch, at which point you’re thrown back into the same space game. Google has hidden similar Easter eggs in past Android versions see example.

It’s not a huge change, but it’s nice to finally see something new here.

Notably, the Android 17 logo is complete now, after Google quietly updated it in blog posts about the update over the past few months see details.
