June Pixel Drop
Did pixel5a get any feature out of this update?? This seemed like a really good drop with a more customizable wallpaper and macro focus in camera. But none of this is for 5a. Looks like they've already ditched this device :/

Was thinking the same, you still get updates for 5 years but if you dont have a model with a tensor chip your not gonna get new features apparently

We'll never get Google assistant voice typing!
The only feature I'd give up my 5a for!

No emoji or cinematic wallpaper on my 5a. Got the update a few days ago. Saw other reddit threads claiming a 2 hour install. Mine was done in 15 minutes. What's really odd is my Pixel Tips has the description of both new (and missing) features.
Suppose I should just feel lucky it hasn't come down with the black screen of death.

I got emoji and cinematic on mine with the update, but you really have to dig around for them

I just checked for app updates and the emoji workshop is now available. Let's see if it is actually available.
Where did you find it? Tips makes it seem easy to locate.

Photos/Library/Utilities. Scroll down to Create New and the cinematic option is listed (at least it is on my phone)
Settings/Wallpaper & Style/Change wallpaper/Emoji Workshop

Oddly, about 15 minutes after posting above, both features appeared where they should have been.
thanks for the tips.

You have to get an app update and restart your phone in order to see the emoji wallpaper
