Android 15 Beta 3 has introduced a new wallpaper picker that offers improved features and customization options for users, allowing them to share AI-generated backgrounds on the Pixel 8+. The updated wallpaper picker/editor in Android 15 Beta 3 showcases a card-based UI that enhances the distinction between Lock and Home screens. Users can easily navigate through a fullscreen preview, adjust zoom settings, and set wallpapers for both surfaces or individual screens. The new card UI is particularly beneficial for devices like the Pixel Fold, providing a visually appealing experience.
Interacting with AI wallpapers now includes the option to edit prompts and share generative backgrounds, fulfilling a common user request. While users can access the system Share sheet in Beta 3, downloading or uploading wallpaper files is not yet supported, hinting at potential future developments. The update aims to streamline the wallpaper selection and editing process, offering a more customized and user-friendly experience.
Moreover, the latest beta version may introduce dynamic wallpapers that adapt based on triggers like time or location. Integration with Google Photos could allow users to set wallpapers directly from their photo library, while improved support for interactive live wallpapers may enhance user engagement. The introduction of an ‘Android Safe Browsing’ feature adds an extra layer of security, ensuring users’ safety while browsing.
Overall, the Android 15 Beta 3 update brings significant enhancements to wallpaper selection, editing, and system features, promising a more personalized and interactive experience for users. Stay tuned for more updates on the evolution of Android 15’s wallpaper features and functionalities.
