Generative AI Wallpapers are fun, the feature first made its appearance on the Pixel 8 series with Android 14. It was initially showcased last year at Google I/O 23 and later introduced with the Pixel 8 phones. Later, other smartphone OEMs adopted the tech and we saw the feature in action on the Galaxy S24 and a few more phones.
Google stated that the feature is coming first to Pixel 8/8 Pro. To date, it is limited to the newer models. However, I’ve got a good piece of news for other Pixel device owners. We’ve discovered a simple workaround that you can use on your Android 14 smartphone to use the Generative AI wallpapers feature.

If you own a non-Pixel smartphone running on Android 14, then you need to do a few more steps to get things done on your device.
