Our 2024111700 release tried to improve Bluetooth privacy by disabling the Bluetooth contact sharing toggle by default. We thought it'd also address an Android security bug reported on our forum where Android shares contacts even with the toggle disabled for one of two workflows.

Android 15 QPR2 is moving 6th/7th/8th generation Pixels to the Linux kernel's 6.1 LTS branch already used for 9th generation Pixels. This will reduce the kernel branches we need to support down to 6.1 and 6.6. There will likely need to be a yearly migration for all the devices.
