Wallpapers

Wallpapers for a cleaner Android backdrop

Wallpapers is Google’s personalization app for browsing images and setting them as your phone’s home-screen or lock-screen background. It suits Android users who want a straightforward way to change the look of their device without searching across a large collection of unrelated apps. The app is developed by Google LLC and has more than 1,000,000,000 installs.

What you can do with it

• Browse wallpaper collections that include landscape imagery, satellite views from Google Earth, and work from partner galleries.
• Choose different images for the home screen and lock screen when you want each view to have its own appearance.
• Use a photo from your device’s local gallery instead of selecting an image from the app’s collections.
• Set a daily wallpaper option that changes the image every 24 hours from a selected category.

A focused browsing experience

The app keeps its controls centered on previewing and applying images. Its layout is easy to understand, with categories that make it possible to browse by visual theme rather than sort through a general-purpose image feed. Before applying a wallpaper, you can check how the selected image will fit the phone’s display.

Worth knowing

Wallpapers has a rating of 4.0 out of 5 from 284,978 reviews. It is a good fit for people who prefer ready-made images and automatic rotation over built-in editing tools. The collection is curated rather than community-driven, so users looking for advanced filters, detailed image adjustments, or a constant stream of new submissions may find it limited. For simple background changes and a tidy selection of imagery, it covers the essentials.
