Overview
- Teardowns of the Android 17 QPR1 beta revealed code strings for a Photo Shuffle option inside the Pixel Wallpaper & Style app.
- The uncovered text describes creating albums of people, pets or other images that can auto-refresh the wallpaper on intervals such as hourly, daily, sunrise/sunset, or on tap.
- The feature exists only as a few code strings and is not enabled or functional in the beta build, so it is not yet available to Pixel users.
- Reporters say Photo Shuffle could arrive with the QPR1 update or be delayed to a later Pixel Drop, but Google has not confirmed any timing.
- If completed, Photo Shuffle would let Pixel owners pick their own image albums for automatic wallpaper rotation, matching functionality long offered by rival phones and iPhones.
