• Google seems to have overlooked a bug in Android 15 that affects the wallpaper-based theming system.
• It results in users getting fewer unique wallpaper color options with several duplicates.
• The bug was first spotted in a beta release, but it has made it to the stable build.

The Android 15 rollout for Pixel devices doesn’t seem to be going as smoothly as Google might have hoped. In addition to the update missing some of the advertised features, we’ve also come across several reports of Pixel users facing an annoying bug in the Instagram app. While Google has confirmed that the missing features will reach users over the next few weeks and Instagram has already released an update to fix the Stories issue, there’s one bug in the latest Android release that seems to have gone under Google’s radar.

The wallpaper-based theming system in Android 15 has a minor issue. It affects the “Wallpaper colors” carousel in the Wallpaper & style settings on Pixel devices, which offers a selection of color combinations based on your current wallpaper to theme icons, text, and other UI elements. Instead of offering a selection of unique color combinations, the carousel shows several duplicates.
