Mojang released the latest beta/ preview version for Minecraft Bedrock Edition on September 14, 2022. The Android version is titled Beta 1.19.40.21, while the version on Windows, iOS, iPadOS, and Xbox is titled Preview 1.19.40.21.
The update comes just a few days after the release of Beta 1.19.40.20 or Preview 1.19.40.20, which kicked off testing for the Bedrock 1.19.40 version of the game.
While the beta 1.19.40.20 update has fixed a ton of bugs, it seems like a few have remained.
The 1.19.40.21 update brings some new additions to the command format and many bug fixes that relate to features like spectator mode, vanilla parity, user interface, mobs, and blocks.

Navigate to your respective system’s search bar and type in “Xbox.” This will open up the Xbox application. Another great way to download the preview version on PC is to use the game's Launcher.
Playing on iOS devices, on the other hand, will require you to join the preview using the TestFlight application. If you are using an Android device, head over to the Google Play Store.

Alternatively, you can navigate to the “Preview” tab in the Launcher. On Android and iOS, this can be done through the Google Play Store and TestFlight application, respectively.
3) Click on update
This step is for PC and Xbox users. For Android and iOS users, the process is basically completed in the previous step.
Once you’re at the preview or beta page within the Xbox store, all you have to do is hit "Update," and the latest beta version will start downloading. On the Launcher, you must click on “Install” after completing the previous step.
4) Open the game
Once the beta/preview version has been downloaded, navigate to the game and click on the “Play” button, whether it is in the Microsoft Store, Xbox application, or the Launcher. You can then enjoy the latest beta version of the game.
