Google’s been refreshing its Wallpapers & style app for Android 16 QPR1 with new features like Magic Portrait and theme support.
With QPR1 Beta 2 the company has started grouping together its wallpaper creation and editing tools under a new Wallpaper Studio banner.
This replaces the previous “suggested photos” view.

When you’re interested in customizing the look and feel of your Pixel phone, there’s probably nowhere better to start than Google’s own Wallpaper & style app. It already offered a ton of control over setting up both your lock screen and home screen, and it’s only been getting better as of late, thanks to some smart UI updates in QPR1 Beta 1. With this week’s release of QPR1 Beta 2 we’ve been digging around in search of everything new Google’s managed to cook up, and have identified some further improvements hitting Wallpaper & style.

In Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2, when you go to select a wallpaper in the Wallpaper & style app (or simply accessed through system settings) you’ll discover a new Wallpaper Studio section up top.
