Initially only on Pixel
Yesterday Google released the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, and along with the new smartphones, the public version of Android 14 was released, which has many features, including a new artificial intelligence wallpaper generator.
The new AI-powered wallpaper feature makes it easy to create a new background on your Pixel device using our proprietary text-to-image model. You choose a category, such as “classical art,” and then play with the text description to display different results. According to The Verge, you can select the Dreamscape category, then describe the structure, material, and color – and end up with something like “Indigo Plant House”, which produces several images of greenery-covered buildings with a front door.
Android 14 introduces an AI wallpaper generator
Google says generative AI wallpapers will initially appear on the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, so most won’t be able to use them at launch. However, the wording suggests that availability will expand in the future.
Generative AI wallpapers are just one of many new features in Android 14, along with lock screen customizations that let you choose different fonts and colors, situational widgets like a prominent weather widget during a thunderstorm, and even a monochrome theme.
Android 14 is rolling out to supported Pixel devices now and will arrive on select devices from Samsung, Nothing, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Sharp, Sony, Tecno, Vivo, and Xiaomi later this year.
