Abstruct - Wallpapers in 4K
Abstruct is one of the newest wallpaper apps for phones. It was created by Hampus Olsson, the designer of all wallpapers on OnePlus phones. In it you will find a variety of abstract wallpapers in a variety of colors. There are about 350 backgrounds in total, all of them in 4K resolution. We expect more wallpapers to be added to the app over time. This is a great way to get all the wallpapers from OnePlus devices without having to buy them.

Muzei
Muzei's developers have taken a slightly different approach than many other apps. You can turn your own pictures and photos saved in your smartphone's memory into wallpaper. If you don't have many of your own images, you can select only a few, and they will change automatically after a certain time.
If you want to use pictures from the “My Photos” folder, you can also select the frequency of their change in the settings. Unlike all other apps, Muzei makes its own adjustments to each picture. The program makes it blurry, which has its advantages and disadvantages. Keeping icons and widgets in focus against a blurred background is good, but a photo or text is not a good choice for such a background, as it will be difficult to see small details.
But blur can be removed by simply double-clicking on an empty area of the screen. Another double click and the background becomes blurred again. In the settings, adjust the shades of gray, the degree of blur and darkening. All this can be done through the main menu of the application.
The Muzei's own collection houses many famous works of art. Paintings by Van Gogh, Rubens and Aivazovsky can become the background for your smartphone.
Cool wallpapers for your phone from Max
Another new wallpaper app for Android phones. A collection of wallpapers is collected by a 12-year-old boy and I must admit that his collection is really cool. At the time of compiling this list, the application had a little more than 1 thousand wallpapers. The application is free, but there are some very unobtrusive advertisements. We wish good luck to Max!

7Fon
7Fon is one of the best programs for searching through a huge number of images. Currently, the application catalog contains about 120 thousand HD-quality wallpapers. You can click on the palette icon in the upper right corner of the application window, which will open a list of colors. When you click on one of them, the program automatically selects images with similar colors. This is one of the main features of 7Fon.
The program has a number of very useful functions: uploading via a data cable or Wi-Fi, selecting a storage location for images (phone, memory card), as well as a number of other functions. Once you create an account, you will be able to see the rating of each image. Registered users can also add their own images. All pictures are regularly checked for ratings, after which the most unpopular ones are eliminated.
Resplash - Wallpapers
This is a great source for photo wallpapers. The app boasts more than 100,000 wallpapers with daily updates (so says the developer). The user interface is decent and easy to use. The photo resolution is more than enough for any phone screen. The app even has some customization features such as dark mode and different layout options. There are some elements that could have been done better, but overall this is a very good app. It is also great for photography enthusiasts.

Live wallpapers, how to install them
Live wallpaper is a dynamic animated picture in which some action can physically occur. For example, swimming fish, a waterfall with streams of water falling down, flying snowflakes, etc. However, despite the effect that such a screen saver produces, it has significant disadvantages:
- Required Android version is not lower than 2.1;
- The device must have a powerful processor and sufficient free memory;
- The smartphone battery must have good capacity, since such an image “eats up” the battery charge too quickly.
Live wallpaper is nothing more than an application (file) with an APK extension. By entering the appropriate query in the search bar of the Google Play store, you can easily find the topics and images you are interested in:
Note: When choosing a particular application with live pictures, it is important to consider the screen resolution of your Android device.
Well, on the topic of how to install wallpaper on the Android screen, I have nothing more to add, at least for now. Ask your questions if you have any, and I say goodbye to you, dear readers of our blog, until the next topic. Good luck!
Google Wallpaper
A decent wallpaper app from Google. It has a small but decent collection of wallpapers. The application can set wallpaper separately for the lock screen and home screen. There is a function to automatically install new wallpapers every day and much more. There are several bugs in the application. Besides, his collection is not that big. However, it does have some really quality stuff. The app is completely free, without ads or in-app purchases.

Setting wallpaper through the gallery
You can select and install wallpaper directly from the standard Gallery application. If you choose this option to design the background of your smartphone, then do the following: go to the gallery, find the photo you like and open it. Now press the submenu button in the form of three vertical dots located on the right side of the top panel and select the “Set as wallpaper” item. All that remains is to choose which screen we want to see this picture on:
*Note: The screenshots presented here were taken on a Samsung Galaxy A7. It is quite possible that on Android devices from other manufacturers the location of the buttons and the names of menu items will be different, but in terms of meaning, I think it will not be very difficult to understand the procedure. For the second method, opening the panel with the “Wallpaper” button on different gadgets will also be different. I described in detail the necessary actions on various smartphones in the topic of how to delete desktops . Having completed them, you just need to select “Wallpaper”, or (as on HTC phones) the “Home screen wallpaper” item.
