If you spend any time on tech Twitter, you\u2019ve probably come across Race Johnson\u2019s semi-viral post featuring a few app icons with a disco ball effect, cutely referred to as \u201cdiscomorphism.\u201d The post garnered a fair amount of attention, to the point where Android President Sameer Samat joked about making a disco icon pack for Android and sharing a Chrome icon with its own discomorphism design.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to this past Friday, and Sameer held true to his word \u2014 announcing that disco icons are now available on Pixel phones. No, this isn\u2019t a late April Fool\u2019s joke or Sameer just having fun in light of Google I\/O. The disco app icons are real, and you can download them on your Pixel right now.<\/p>\n

In order to use the disco icon pack, you\u2019ll need a Pixel running Android 16 QPR3. The update began rolling out back in March, so unless you\u2019re actively avoiding software updates on your Pixel, you should already have it.<\/p>\n

Android 16 QPR3 added a new \u201cCreate\u201d option for icon packs, offering five styles of AI-generated icons \u2014 including designs such as Scribbles, Cookies, and Easel. QPR3 was rolled out to every Pixel model going back to the Pixel 6 series, so unless you have a Pixel 5 or older, your Pixel is supported.<\/p>\n

You can confirm your Pixel\u2019s Android version by going to\u00a0Settings – About phone\u00a0<\/strong>and then scrolling down until you see\u00a0Android versio<\/strong>n<\/strong>. If, for some reason, you\u2019re running a version older than QPR3, you can update your phone by going to\u00a0Settings – System – Software updates – System update<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
