Camera AR is HERE!

Doesn't show up on the phone or on the play store. It's AR Core published by Google right?

Your Play Store may also be out of date on the phone. Go to settings, Play Store version - is it 8.4.19.v-all [0] [FP] 175058788? If not, tap on Play Store version and that should update it.

Thanks! Clicking the link on my pixel 2XL it sends me to the app on the Play Store App, and says my device is incompatible! WTF Google! I'm gonna try the Verizon sim that came with the phone and see if that tricks it. Who knows

Ok double check your Play Store version too.

Still says my device is incompatible. Put in a Verizon sim and rebooted. Same thing. Play store says it is up to date when I go to version.

Do I need Android 8.1 for this to work? I am on 8.0 with the November security patch.

Yeah I believe you have to be on 8.1 for it to work.

This camera update will be rolling out with Android 8.1, but it's going to be a Pixel exclusive and there's currently no plans to change that.

Your devixe is incompatible because it’s on 8.0 - I’m the same. Once we get the 8.1 update, the AR stickers will activate.

AR is fun for a little while but it kills the battery, at least it did when I had the iPhone X.

I'm thinking you're right about the battery - after playing with it for just a few minutes I noticed my phone getting very, very warm.

Are you on 8.1 ? If not that is why.

This one is a battery killer and phone heater kind of fun to play with for the kids though

 

[smallindiana]

I found it in the play store. Didn't show as an update had to search it.

 

[mwboost]

My battery just got killed by this lol. Drained heaps quick. Ah well.

After I got the AR installs in the Google play store I had to restart my device in order to see the option in my camera. Just an FYI if you don't see the option right away. If course you need to be on 8.1 also.
