The official Update 2.2 for Geometry Dash was released on December 20, 2023. Because the full version is already available through legitimate stores, you should avoid downloading any unofficial "2.2 Beta APKs" found on the internet, as these are often unofficial leaks from 2019 that may contain malware or spyware.

If you want to play 2.2 content safely, use these official options:

Platformer Mode: A new way to play that allows for free movement instead of forced scrolling, featuring four levels in "The Tower".

2. The Swing Copter

• Isolate mods: Disable mods/cheats; test on a clean install to confirm issues are with the beta itself.
• Keep copies: Preserve copies of bugging levels or replays so devs and creators can reproduce issues.
