How To Change the Wallpaper on the OnePlus 6

Enclosed in glass, the OnePlus 6 looks really sleek and cool, so it’s no wonder you’d want to change its wallpaper. Even though smartphone manufacturers really do their best when template pictures are concerned, with a flagship model like this you surely want to customize it to fit your needs the best and to stand out from the crowd.

Luckily enough for you, changing the wallpaper on the OnePlus 6 smartphone isn’t a hard thing to do. Let us guide you through the process and show you all the cool tips and tricks that will make your phone look even better.

How to Change the Wallpaper?

Obviously, the screen that you’ll be watching most often on your OnePlus 6 is your home screen with all the installed apps, so it’s quite obvious you want to place something special there.

1. The first thing you need to do is simply push and hold with your thumb on any blank area of your home screen. This action will make your phone zoom out into a menu with several customization options.
2. Obviously, you need to select the first one, entitled “Wallpapers”. Once you do so, you will be left with an option to click on “My photos” or simply to scroll through the gallery of your photos by swiping to the right.
3. Once you get to the picture that you want to use as the wallpaper, simply click on it to make a selection. There will also be an option to crop your picture to fit the screen, and after you are done making such edits, simply click the “Apply Wallpaper” option.
4. After this, you will be prompted to choose whether you want to use the selected and edited picture as the wallpaper for your home screen, lock screen, or both of them.

In this case, you want to choose just the home screen option.

Lock Screen Wallpaper

Your lock screen is the one you will always see before unlocking your phone. As you’ve noticed in the instructions above, you can use the same picture as the one used for the home screen wallpaper, but we simply know that you’d want different wallpapers for different screens.

Just repeat the steps we’ve explained above, but once you have selected the picture and edited its dimensions, this time around choose only the lock screen option.

Conclusion

With the OnePlus 6, you can change the wallpaper of your lock screen and home screen quite easily. Unfortunately, these are the only screens that use a wallpaper, so you should be really picky when choosing the pictures you wish to use.
