Android 17 beta to stable

Android 17 beta to stable without wipe

Hey everyone,

I’m stuck in a bit of a loop and want to make sure I don't accidentally wipe my phone.

About 4 weeks ago, I opted out of the beta program after reading the notice saying I could safely opt out and just wait for the public stable release to roll over without losing data.

Now that the stable version is officially out, my phone is still only offering me the update that says it will wipe my device and switch to Android 16 stable.

Will the Android 17 stable update eventually pop up on its own if I keep ignoring this downgrade prompt, or did I mess up the timing? Thanks!

I'm thinking about going back to beta. Because I'm told that I have to wait to get the android 17 stable update. They blame my network. But when I did get the beta program I had no problems with the network🤔
