Themes 8.2: what changed
Google Play's notes describe three areas of change: a subscription option that disables ads, faster wallpaper loading, and additional fixes for stable operation. The app's listing also describes its existing theme and wallpaper collection.
What changed
- 01An option to disable ads
The listing describes a subscription that disables ads, specifically mentioning banners. That is the stated change; Google Play's notes do not provide a price, trial period, renewal schedule, or further subscription terms. Check the app's Google Play page and any information shown in the app before making a subscription decision. The subscription does not change the separate description of how themes are selected.
- 02Wallpaper loading gets faster
Faster wallpaper loading is one of the specific changes named in Google Play's notes. The listing does not quantify the improvement or say whether it applies to every wallpaper, connection, or device. The app description says its collection includes wallpapers, alongside themes. If loading still seems slow, connection conditions may be relevant, but the Play listing does not identify a particular cause.
- 03Additional stability fixes included
The notes describe additional improvements and fixes intended to support stable operation, without listing individual bugs or affected features. That means the listing does not establish whether a particular issue has been addressed. The app is described as a collection of themes and wallpapers, with theme selection leading to the Themes Store. Consult the Play listing for the publisher's current notes if you need precise fix details.

Worth knowing
Themes is described as an unofficial collection featuring themes selected from the official Themes Store, rather than as the store itself. Its listing says selecting a theme redirects to the Themes Store, where themes can be installed for free. The description also warns that some items may be inaccessible in certain regions. Google Play's current summary advertises more than 3,000 themes and 9,000 wallpapers, but the release notes do not say that those collection counts changed in this build.
