Overview

  • Hidden entries for “AI icon” and “Create” appear alongside the existing “Minimal” option in the Android Canary homescreen theming menu.
  • The “AI icon” label is described as an extendible theme, suggesting use of on-device AI to generate icons for unsupported apps.
  • The “Create” option implies granular user-driven styling, potentially including custom shapes and visual effects.
  • Neither new theme can be accessed or manually enabled in current Canary builds, indicating they remain under active development.
  • Google has not linked these features to an Android version or provided a launch timeline, making a release several months away likely.
