How to Change the Background Picture & lock Screen on Android Phone (Best Method)
5The most direct and consistent method to change both the background picture (Home Screen) and Lock Screen on almost any Android phone is by using the long-press method on your home screen.
While the exact menus might have slightly different names (like "Wallpaper," "Wallpaper & style," or "Change wallpapers"), the overall steps are the same across major brands like Samsung, Google Pixel, and others.
The Best Method: Long-Press on the Home Screen
This method is quick and universally available on all modern Android versions.
1. Access the Wallpaper Settings
Go to your Home Screen: Swipe up from an app or folder to return to your main home screen.
Long-Press: Tap and hold your finger on any empty space on the home screen until a menu pops up.
Select the Option: Tap on the option that mentions Wallpapers or Wallpaper & style.
2. Choose Your Picture
Browse Options: You will typically see a list of categories:
My photos / Gallery: To select a picture you have taken or downloaded.
Featured / Collections: To choose from the phone's pre-installed wallpapers.
Live Wallpapers: To select an animated or interactive background.
Select an Image: Navigate to your chosen category and tap on the picture you want to use.
3. Set the Location (Home Screen and Lock Screen)
Preview and Crop: Your phone will show a preview of the image. You may be able to zoom, pan, or crop it to your liking.
Apply to Screens: When you are satisfied, look for a button like "Set wallpaper" or "Done."
Choose Location: A final prompt will ask you where you want to apply the image. You must choose one of the following:
Home screen (The background you see when unlocked)
Lock screen (The background you see when locked)
Home and lock screens (Sets the same picture for both)
Select your desired option to apply the new background.
