Google is working on theme packs for Pixels

Google is apparently working on bringing theme packs to its Pixel smartphones, according to a new report based on some code strings and a button in the latest Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1.

The button belongs in the Pixel Wallpaper & Style app, and is intended to launch a Pixel Customization Packs app, which itself isn't available yet, but is clearly on the way.

Since we can't take a look at that, it remains to be seen whether Google will only offer some preset theme packs or will open a bona fide theme store like many other Android device makers. We're inclined to say the former option is more likely.

In the Wallpaper & Style app, there will be a new Themes entry set to appear at the top of the list both in the Lock Screen and the Home Screen tabs, with a description that will simply say "Discover Pixel themes". The code string containing the description is named "theme_packs_description", implying that the themes will each bundle multiple customization options.
