Summary
- Beta version four of Android 16 includes new additions of wallpapers and lock screens for Pixel phones.
- Upon selecting a picture for wallpaper, users can access AI effects by tapping on the starbursts symbol.
- One such feature is ‘Shape’, which frames the subject of a photo in one of five options and then centres it on the screen.
- The ‘Weather’ feature interacts with the subject of the image, for example, by pelting it with raindrops, or shrouding it in fog.
- Google is also testing updates for the lock screen, by giving users more options on which notifications are shown.
- Additionally, a new ‘Live Updates’ feature will show live-updating elements on the lock screen, similar to that of Apple’s iOS.
