This One of the most anticipated features of Android 12 but it may still prevent many people from installing the update. With this latest version, Google is integrating a new Material You interface into the operating system. This brings many new design features, but one of the biggest innovations is undoubtedly the possibility to automatically match the theme of your smartphone with the colors of your wallpaper. Ideal for enjoying a harmonious whole in hands.
But today this functionality looks more like this: a poisonous gift. In fact, many users have reported a bug with this option. As soon as you change your wallpaper, All currently opened games crash inexorably. Some automatically reboot while others remain completely off. In both cases, unsaved data is lost. To make matters worse, this issue appears to have been present in Android 12 for several months and no solution has been provided.
Don’t change wallpaper on Android in the middle of the game
The bug was first noticed last July. Messages keep pouring in on the support forums, with no need for Google to issue a fix. According to various sources, the error is linked to: a configuration change in the software. Usually apps are not expected to react to such changes, but it looks like one particular update has made a mess.
For now, only games are affected. Most cited by users Genshin Impact, Pokemon Go, Minecraft, PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile and Wild Rift. Therefore, we are still waiting for Mountain View to find a solution. Unfortunately, the fact that the error persists for several months is certainly a sign of the difficulty of the problem.
