Overview
- Google quietly published a Desktop Camera app on the Play Store with the description, “Never miss a moment with the Desktop Camera.”
- The listing flags the app as incompatible with Android phones, tablets, and Chromebooks, indicating hardware‑specific targeting.
- Screenshots show a basic, Pixel‑like camera interface with full‑screen controls that resemble a ChromeOS‑style desktop layout.
- One image lacks a visible status bar, differing from a January leak of Google’s Android 16‑based desktop UI known as Aluminium OS.
- Google has previously said Android PCs are expected later in 2026, but it has not announced availability details for this app.
