UPDATE: Still No Cinematic Wallpaper after Android 14 QPR Beta 1
It has become a really sad state of affairs that even months after Google rolled out this feature, many are still yet to receive it. With that said, many eyes were on the latest Android 14 QPR Beta 1 update, which again has disappointed the users, at least those who were waiting for the Cinematic Wallpapers. At this point in point, one should simply give up any and every hope with regard to this feature.
More so after the tech giant has ended up meeting the stable Android 14 deadline, which hasn’t happened in ages. So as of now, Googlle’s main motive will be to release the stable OS build and then maybe it could shift its attention towards this feature. Or if we are lucky enough, we might get blessed with Cinematic Wallpaper with the stable Android 14 which would roll out on the 4th of October. So let’s just wait and watch, something that we have already doing for the past few months :{
