Leak Points to Nov. 4 Pixel Feature Drop With Theme Packs, AI Animations, VIP Alerts

Pixel Tips screenshots shared by Mystic Leaks hint at a personalization-focused update, but typos and the earlier-than-expected timing have outlets treating the details as unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Leaked images suggest Google will introduce Theme Packs that apply one-tap, system-wide changes including wallpaper, icons, GIFs and sounds.
  • An example shown in the screenshots features a branded Wicked: For Good pack, indicating potential media tie-ins for future themes.
  • Pixel Studio is depicted gaining new animation tools that let users turn images or creations into GIFs or animated stickers with an "Animate image" option.
  • Pixel VIP is reportedly expanding to prioritize messages from designated contacts in Google Messages and WhatsApp, with yellow highlights and contact photos in the status bar.
  • The materials point to a November 4 rollout, though reporters note typos in the leak and the unusual timing ahead of the expected December QPR2, urging caution until Google confirms.
