Change Your Wallpaper – Home Screen

You have a couple of options if you want to change your Home screen wallpaper. You can choose one wallpaper to have all the time. Or you can have it change automatically throughout the day.

Automatic Change

If you like to see different backgrounds every time you look at your Home screen, this may be a good option for you.

First, you need to access your wallpaper settings. To do this, go to your Home screen. Next, press and hold on an empty space anywhere on this screen.

When your menu options pop up, tap “Theme” and then “Edit current theme”. Scroll down by tapping on the down arrow and select “Time-based” when the option comes up.

Step Two – Choose Your Wallpaper for Daytime

When you see a two-page collection of thumbnails, tap “Change wallpaper”. It’s under the Day thumbnail. This will enable you to choose which wallpaper you want cycled throughout the day.

You can select from preloaded wallpapers or you may choose from your own photos.

Step Three – Choose Your Wallpaper for Night Time

You may also want to specify a different set of wallpapers to use when you leave the office. To do this, tap on “Change wallpaper” again, but this time use the Night thumbnail.

Again, select the wallpapers you want to choose. These ones will be the background for your Home screen during the night.

If you prefer that your Home screen wallpaper remain static throughout the day, assigning a background is easy. Take a look at these quick steps to personalize your phone.

Step One – Access Your Menu

First, swipe up to access your Settings menu. From the menu, select “Personalize”.
