Context: I bought a new Pixel 8 Pro (cash - not a provider phone) a couple of weeks ago and have set up several profiles. I find that sometimes, for some users I can change a wallpaper, and sometimes not. The problem is the same whether or not it is the home screen wallpaper I'm trying to set or the lock screen wallpaper. I'm just using the native wallpaper configuration (hold down on home screen, pick wallpaper and style -> change wallpaper -> pick image -> set to home screen, lock screen, or both -- I tried all three). My phone is up-to-date.

For example, a few minutes ago as Owner I set the desktop and lock screen to the same picture and it worked. Now I've changed the wallpaper on the home screen, lock the screen, and then unlock and it didn't change -- still stuck on the old picture. Same for the lock screen.

Also, as a different user profile I set the home screen wallpaper a couple of days ago and that seemed to work. But now I can't change it.

I just now rebooted and the wallpapers have taken effect! :)

Is this some kind of buggy behavior or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

    GOSExplorer haven't heard of this one, but I doubt you're doing anything wrong. There are a number of upstream bugs like what you're describing.
