A peculiar wallpaper bug on some Pixels running Android 15 and 16 beta shows visual glitches during wallpaper selection. The bug is frustrating, considering that users cannot reliably switch between certain default wallpapers in the Pixel Wallpaper & style menu. Google has been contacted about this issue, and updates will be provided as they become available.

Key settings, including toggles for immersive vibrations, AI-powered weather reports, weather units, and app theme, have vanished from the Pixel Weather app's settings menu. Despite the missing toggles, features like AI weather reports appear to be permanently enabled, regardless of user preference. It's unknown whether Google intentionally removed these settings or if it's a bug. The issue appears to be server-side. We've reached out to Google for comment.

Tap-to-ride transit functionality might be coming to Wear OS. Users will be able to simply tap their unlocked smartwatch on transit readers, eliminating the need to open the Google Wallet app. This functionality is based on code found in Google Play Services beta v25.02.32, suggesting that the feature is in the works, but we're uncertain when it will land. Users will likely be able to designate a default transit pass within Google Wallet on Wear OS.
