The fast and easy way to change the wallpaper on the Oneplus 7 Pro is to tap and hold on a blank space on your home screen and then tap “Wallpapers.”
From there, you can choose any image from your gallery or from a preset selection of live wallpapers from your device.
You may also go directly to your Oneplus 7 Pro Gallery then open an image of your choice. Once you open the image, select “More” to look for the “Set as Wallpaper” option.
You can also change your wallpaper from the Settings menu on your phone. Just follow these steps:
- Swipe up or unlock your home screen to display all apps.
- 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.
- Next, tap “Wallpaper” and select which folder or file you want to use.
- Find your desired image and tap “Set Wallpaper.”
You can always use your own image as a wallpaper. However, most phones also have a preset selection of wallpapers (or live images) that can be used anytime too.
You may also choose different images each for your wallpaper and lock screen. However, you may also use just one image for both.
Locking your phone is a great security feature, but when you’re at home it’s normally not necessary.
A featured called Trusted Places enables you to bypass the lock screen when you’re at specific geographic places.
To set it up go to Settings – Lock screen and security – Smart lock – Trusted places. You can also set up the bypass to work when your phone is connected to specific Bluetooth devices such as Smart watches or Audio devices.
You can also override this (i.e. lock your screen when it is at the location). To override, just press and hold the padlock icon on the lock screen.
This may not work on all phones, models or networks.
