Theme packs were already in the works as of early October, when Android Authority <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-theme-manager-3606395\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">managed to surface a new \u201cThemes\u201d entry<\/a> in the Settings app on Google Pixel phones. Now, Google published a new \u201cTheme packs\u201d app on the Google Play Store, exclusively for Pixels.<\/p>\n<p>Theme packs will make it possible to \u00a0\u201cpersonalize your Pixel in one tap,\u201d according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.apps.pixel.customizationbundle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Play Store listing<\/a>. \u201cInstantly unlock a complete refresh that updates your wallpaper, icons, sounds, GIFs, and more with seasonal theme packs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first seasonal theme pack collection is based on the Wicked: For Good! movie, and there are three packs to choose from. Each of the \u201cFor Good,\u201d \u201cGlinda,\u201d and \u201cElphaba\u201d packs will automatically adjust your Pixel\u2019s wallpaper and style settings to match their theme.<\/p>\n<p>The Theme packs app is available for download from the Google Play Store as of November 4. That\u2019s the same date <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/november-pixel-drop-leak-3610662\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">leaked for a Pixel Drop release<\/a>, but the update is yet to rollout, and we don\u2019t know exactly when it will arrive. While users can download and view Theme packs, the app will not work until Google rolls out an update.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_ym\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Yg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Yg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In fact, Theme packs is a system app without a standalone user interface. A later update will add Theme packs as a tab within the Wallpaper &amp; Style page in the Settings app. For now, there\u2019s no way to open or access the Theme packs app, even if Pixel users install it.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Yg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Theme Packs App 1\"  alt=\"The Google Play Store listing for the Theme packs app.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Theme-Packs-App-1-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Brady Snyder \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>The icon for theme packs is a collection of basic color sample cards on a purple backdrop, plus the sparkle often used for AI features. Wicked: For Good! will be the first and only theme pack available when Theme packs fully rolls out, but Google\u2019s Play Store listing reveals future packs will be released seasonally.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
