You can also change your wallpaper from the Settings menu on your phone. Just follow these steps:

  1. Swipe up or unlock your home screen to display all apps.
  2. Look for the Settings icon, tap and then look for “Display.” For some phones, you might want to look for “Home Screen” or “Wallpaper” right away.
  3. Next, tap “Wallpaper” and select which folder or file you want to use.
  4. Find your desired image and tap “Set Wallpaper.”
