How to Download and Set a Wallpaper on Your Phone (Properly)

What is a wallpaper, anyway?

A wallpaper is the background image on your phone.

It’s the picture you see:

• on your lock screen (when your phone is locked)
  
• and/or on your home screen (behind your apps)
  

Most phones come with boring default wallpapers.

The good news is: you can change them — to anything you like.

That means:

• your phone looks better
  
• it feels more “yours”
  
• and it’s one of the easiest customisations you can make
  

No tech knowledge required.

Why bother changing your wallpaper?

A good wallpaper can:

• make your phone look cleaner
  
• make text easier to read
  
• show off something you like (art, humour, attitude)
  
• just make you smile when you unlock your phone
  

There’s no downside.

If you don’t like it, you can change it again in 10 seconds.

Don’t worry if you mess it up
