The best feature of Android 14 DP2 that we can’t yet use is the emoji wallpaper

Google has added a ton of new features with the introduction of a new developer preview for Android 14, some of which aren’t yet available unless you’re skilled in coding. My coding skills are lacking, but Mishaal Rahman, who is skilled in this area, has informed us that Google is developing an Emoji Wallpaper. Since I can’t even use it, this dumb feature is what makes me the most enthusiastic about Android 14 DP2. Brutal.

Emoji of their choice can be used to make a background utilizing this capability. This Emoji Wallpaper is simple and monochromatic in contrast to the Android 13 easter egg, which can appear disorganized and a complete jumble. Let’s face it, did you see the turtle and clouds on the featured wallpaper above? Indeed, that is really cool.

You may choose your own emoji, the color, and the pattern of the paper with this capability, claims Mishaal. For any page, you can choose up to 14 emoji, but I personally believe that using less is better. We don’t need a ton of unnecessary emoji clutter, do we?

The main issue currently is that we aren’t 100% sure if Google intends to launch this wallpaper option with Android 14. It’s currently hidden behind developer flags, but from what we can tell, it seems nearly ready for launch? Who knows what Google’s plan is for it. All I know is, I want it and so do you.
