The over-the-air (OTA) update is currently happening and its availability for non-developers otherwise known as "early users" is unclear from the company.

Android 12 Beta Download: Is it Available for Early Users?
According to Screen Rant, Google has announced that the Android 12 beta is up and running for its first developer preview program which would likely focus on the new applications to be integrated into the OS. However, apart from that, Google's beta program for early users and regular people who want to experience the OS is not yet live.
Google has not divulged why the beta program for the members of the public is unavailable, which in the past cases is usually already up and running. Users are asked to wait, particularly with trying out the new version of the Android operating system as Google would most likely host the program for beta testers via the perspective of regular customers.
Android 12 is currently on developer preview, meaning that this is the earliest version of the latest operating system to dawn on the platform and reports online. The current OS is dedicated to people who have technical experience and have knowledge in software development to help Google in determining what is needed to be changed and fixed.
Android 12 Beta Download: Google is Still on the Early Stages
Google's blog post about the Android 12 narrates that the developer's preview would help people in determining everything that was added in the software and how it feels upon use in early testing. However, the latest OS is not for the regular Android user, as Google aims to collect feedback from a technical standpoint on the beta.
On the other hand, Google is inviting and asking everyone to join #TheAndroidShow which would be live on Feb. 24, at 9 AM Pacific Time (12nn Eastern Time). The talk show would discuss the "Jetpack Compose" which is the latest tool by Google which helped in the conceptualization and creation of the new user interface for Android 12.
