Today it is estimated that we spend an average of 5 hours a day using our cell phone. That’s a long time to be always looking at the same wallpaper! And in a very short time, the smartphone has become an inseparable accessory that says a lot about who we are. But … Who wants to spend hours looking for that perfect image to customize our Android device?
In today’s article we are going to offer you a selection with the best wallpapers for your mobile. These can be used both on the home screen, lock screen of your mobile and even applications such as WhatsApp, all you need to do is download them to the gallery of your smartphone. We hope you like them!
How to change the wallpaper of your cell phone
Before we start with our selection, let’s show you how you can use the wallpapers you download quickly and conveniently.
Home screen
To change the wallpaper of your cell phone, you first need to download the image you want to the gallery of your smartphone by clicking on it and then selecting the “Save image” option.
After this step, access the Settings of your cell phone and select the “Display” option followed by “Wallpaper”. If you are a Samsung smartphone user, you simply need to click on the “Wallpaper & Themes” or “Wallpaper & Style” option.
To finish, simply select the “Photos” option and click on the image you want and click “Set Background” followed by “Home Screen”. If you are a Samsung user you will reach the Galaxy Themes menu where you must click on the “Gallery” button followed by the image you want as background. After that a menu will appear where you should select the “Home Screen” option.
Lock screen
If there are several images that you like, you probably want to use both to decorate your phone. Why not set a different image for your lock screen? To make this change simply follow the steps in the previous point and, once you have selected the background image, click on the “Lock Screen” option instead of “Home Screen”. This is especially useful if for example we have a family member or our children as wallpaper and we do not want the whole world to have access to our private images.
In applications such as WhatsApp
WhatsApp is the star application of most smartphones. And for many, the cell phone has become a simple device to always have access to this messaging service. It is therefore normal that we want to customize the app and always have a nice wallpaper for our chats.
To change the WhatsApp wallpaper it is first necessary to have the application updated. To do this you can check its version through Google Play or if you wish, downloading it directly below these lines.
Once you have updated WhatsApp, open a chat and click on the menu button in the upper right corner of the screen (it has the appearance of three vertical dots). Once you have done this, click on the “Background” option followed by “Gallery”, WhatsApp will access the images saved on your phone and you can select the wallpaper you want.
If following these steps you have not managed to change the chat background, do not worry. We have an in-depth article that will explain step by step how to perform this process.
