Android 15 Beta 3 brings a new wallpaper picker that could allow you to share the AI-created backgrounds on the Pixel 8+. At least the Android 15 wallpaper picker/editor is better at differentiating between the Lock and Home screen with card UI. Tapping will take you to a fullscreen preview – which doesn’t have the two buttons at the bottom – where you can move in/out to set.
Features of Android 15 Beta 3
As shared by user husbandalorian on Threads, Android 15 Beta 3 includes some new features and fixes, and one user who likes to pixel has noticed a possible hidden feature for the interface of the AI background. A new slick Share button has now been added next to the pencil one. Whereas the pencil enabled you to make changes to your created masterpieces with ease, the Share button creates a new dimension.
This change makes it easy for Pixel 8 users to share custom AI wallpapers with friends, family, or even strangers who told them that they had a great wallpaper on their phone. For those who like to tinker with their gadgets and who love to express their artistic side, it is a dream come true. The Pixel 8 and 8 Pro were released with on-device AI wallpaper generation.
As the cheaper 8a was omitted, the utility is, in fact, a naked T2I model with the ability to choose the art style and the contents of the scene to generate a personalized wallpaper. The utility also has an Inspire Me button if you aren’t feeling creative. This is quite similar to Emoji wallpapers introduced in Android 14, but the creations only remained on your device. Google has recently released Android 15 to beta 3 before the stable build and it came with an option to share these AI-created images from the wallpaper picker screen.
The share button lies next to a pencil symbol which can be used to edit the prompt entered. The format is like the buttons under Google’s Emoji workshop wallpapers where selected emoji are arranged in various formations on single-color backgrounds. However, as we said above, the sharing option does not appear to be active for the moment and may require the next beta or even a stable release to enjoy
