Google Pixel phones have custom icon packs now and, in the latest update, Google is adding a new “Disco” pack that’s… a choice.
Android Ecosystem President at Google, Sameer Samat, confirmed that a new “Disco” icon pack is rolling out now on Google Pixel phones.
The idea spawned from a Twitter/X thread where “discomorphism” was shown off on certain apps such as YouTube and Claude. Samat, at the time, talked about bringing the icon pack to Android phones, but confirmed it was a serious discussion. Fast forward to today, and it has arrived.
The “Disco” icon pack on Google Pixel phones gives each icon an overhaul that gives a disco ball effect on a black background. It’s a whole vibe when you see it in action on your own homescreen setup.
The effect arrives alongside Google’s other icon styles which include “Scribbles,” “Cookies,” “Stardust,” “Easel,” and “Treasure.” All of these styles are powered by AI generation, with each icon getting an AI-generated recreation that also allows for customizations such as different color palettes. These were added in the March 2026 Feature Drop.
It’s a simple way to customize your phone, but one that’s also pretty limited, as we pointed out in a previous post.
The “Disco” pack is rolling out now – will you use it?
Notably, Pixel phones recently lost their latest theme pack, based around Spongebob, and have yet to get a new addition.
