According to recent updates, the coming Android 14 update will bring changes to Pixel live wallpapers. This will give users more control over the wallpapers they set on their home and lock screen. Reports have it that the update will give users the liberty to pick different live wallpapers for usage on their home screen and their lock screen.
Currently, this is not possible on Pixel devices, as it is impossible to set different live wallpapers on both the home and lock screen. The system demands that users stick to one live wallpaper, which will display some transition animation once the device is unlocked. Some users might find this rather restrictive, as it limits their access to only one live wallpaper at a time.
So, just like with static wallpapers, you’ll soon be able to pick two different live wallpapers for usage at a time. One will appear on your lock screen and the other on your home screen according to how you set them. This article will provide you with the currently available information on this issue.
Details on the coming changes to the Pixel live wallpaper feature
While this feature is not already available for usage, there is evidence to point out its existence. A few months ago, some experts spotted this feature among some codes. By the time experts first spotted this feature, there was no assurance that the usage of multiple live wallpapers would be coming to Pixel devices.
However, in a more recent report, Mishaal Rahman has spotted this feature again. This time around, the feature is available on the Android quarterly platform release (QPR). At the moment, this release is in its development and will soon be available for beta testers.
Sources go on to say that if this feature makes it through beta testing, users will get it before the end of the year. It is expected that after successful beta testing, this feature will roll out with the December Pixel Feature Drop. But you might get to see the feature in usage even before the feature drop becomes widely available.
Some people might get access to this feature via root access before it finally rolls out. Android 14 beta testers will also be among the first users to get a taste of the feature. Once they get to try out this feature, more details on its usage and visual looks will be available on the internet.
This coming change to the Google Pixel live wallpaper will give you the ability to use different wallpapers on your home and lock screen. While this might not be a major change, it will help improve the design aesthetics of Pixel devices. Would you be willing to give this feature a try once it is available for usage?
