Cinematic wallpapers are introduced in Google IO 2023. It took a while to roll out to all pixel devices. Still there are many users who haven’t received the update. Cinematic wallpapers add a 3D look to the wallpaper. I got this option on my Pixel 7A and Pixel 6A.
Cinematic wallpaper option converts any photo into a 3D motion picture which creates an amazing animation look while locking and unlocking the pixel. It also gives motion to the wallpaper which looks like Live wallpaper.
There are many live wallpapers available on Wallpaper and Style but making our pics into cinematic wallpaper gives a different experience while using the Pixel.
I tried many photos(which i captured on my 7A) as cinematic wallpapers they look really amazing on my Home screen and locking and i also love the animation while unlocking the phone.
