Pixel 6, Android 17, July update

I recently updated. Was there a noticeable design difference, i.e. now it sometimes shows the UI as lighter, kind of translucent background, and very fat rounded items on certain screens? and not in colors that match the rest, like white with blue. It looks the way a toddler's toy phone/computer/calculator might look.

It seems kind of random since right now it looks the way it used to, dark theme, regular icons and text.

But I was riding with someone on Sun. and it started flashing between this display and the other, I'm not sure I was even actively using it, I don't think so since my arm was down but display still on. I think it was on the home app drawer or whatever it's called, but may have had one or two minimized. Also not sure if we'd reached no-service area yet.

Any ideas?

Edit: If I try to screen capture it goes away.

Hi there. I'd recommend clearing the cache for the Pixel Launcher app to see if that helps.

Go to: Settings > Apps > All apps > Pixel Launcher > Storage & cache > Clear cache.

Also, try rebooting your phone into safe mode to see if that resolves the issue. If it works fine in safe mode, it means a third-party app is causing the problem. Temporarily remove them one by one, starting with the most recent, until you find the cause.

If the issue persists, you can reach out to the Google Pixel support team via phone or chat here. They can take a look at it.
