5 Best Wallpaper Apps for Android Phones

Do you like changing the wallpaper on your Android phone? If yes, then you need a special app that gives you many wallpaper options. This way, you can change your wallpaper anytime you want.

So, what are the best wallpaper apps you can install on your Android device? We have made the list for you. Let’s take a look.

1. Walli 

When you first open Walli, you will be asked to choose at least three of your favorite art styles. The app uses this to show wallpapers that match your taste. For example, I chose Japanism, Geometric, and Kids. After that, the main page was filled with wallpapers that matched my choices.

The app is easy to use. You just swipe up to find more designs, and when you like one, tap the “Set” button. Then you can choose if you want it on your Home screen, Lock screen, or both.

There is also a download option so you can save wallpapers and use them offline. Another good feature is “My Playlist.” Here you can pick several wallpapers and set them to change automatically, like a slideshow on your phone.

What I like about Walli is that the wallpapers look unique and artistic. It’s great for people who want their phone screen to show their personal style.

What I like about Walli:

• Shows recommendations based on your chosen art styles
• Easy to navigate with a simple design
• Can save wallpapers to use offline
• Playlist feature to rotate wallpapers automatically

Things to note:

• Some wallpapers need a subscription
• Some categories don’t have many designs

2. Backdrops

Backdrops has many wallpapers, especially futuristic, abstract, and geometric designs. But if you prefer a calm look, you can also find minimalist, cartoon, or nature wallpapers here.

My favorite feature is “Wall of the Day.” Every day, the app shows one wallpaper with a short explanation about its design or meaning. So you not only get a nice wallpaper but also a story behind it.

Not all wallpapers are free. To use the full collection, you need the paid version. But if you don’t want to pay, the “Free Collection” tab already has many great options. The free wallpapers also look very good, almost the same as the premium ones.

What I like about this app:

• Large collection of stylish and modern wallpapers
• Wall of the Day shows a new design with a short story
• Free wallpapers are still high quality
• Can set wallpapers directly without downloading

One thing to note:

• Some wallpapers are only in the premium version

3. PhoneWalls

PhoneWalls has a very unique concept. This app provides original wallpapers based on different phone brands and models.

For example, if you used to have a Xiaomi phone and loved its MIUI wallpapers, but later switched to Samsung or realme, you can find those same wallpapers again on PhoneWalls without searching on random websites. From popular brands like Xiaomi, Samsung, realme, Tecno, LG, ZTE, and even Google, you can find them all here.

PhoneWalls also gives more than just images. Each wallpaper comes with detailed information such as the color code used. This is useful if you like to match the color with your icons or widgets on the home screen.

What I like about this app:

• Large collection of wallpapers based on phone brands and models
• Lets you find old wallpapers from your previous phone
• Includes color code information for each image
• Almost all wallpapers are free to use

One thing to note:

• Not the best choice if you want artistic wallpapers or illustrations

4. Wallpapers by Google

Wallpapers by Google offers a wide selection of calm and high-quality wallpapers. The app can also detect third-party wallpapers as well as the default wallpapers you are currently using or have used before.

In addition, it can access your gallery so you can set your personal photos as wallpapers. One special feature is that it can act as a shortcut to other wallpaper apps.

When I tried it, Wallpapers by Google detected apps like Backdrops and gave me a quick link to open them. It also works with other apps such as Muzei and Walli.

There is also a daily wallpaper option. If you turn it on, your wallpaper will change automatically every day with new images from the app’s collection. This is great for anyone who wants a fresh look without having to change wallpapers manually.

What I like about this app:

• High-quality wallpapers with calm tones
• Can detect and manage wallpapers from other apps
• Lets you use personal photos from your gallery
• Daily wallpaper feature that refreshes the screen every day

Things to note:

• Fewer categories compared to other wallpaper apps
• Does not support animated or interactive wallpapers

5. Tapet 

With Tapet, you can create your own wallpapers. This app is designed for users who enjoy making personalized designs with different colors and styles.

Inside the app, you’ll find many patterns, styles, and filters to combine. You can change every color element in a pattern, so even if you start with the same design, the final result will be completely different depending on your choices.

When you are happy with the design, simply save it to your device and use it anytime you want.

What I like about this app:

• Lets you create your own wallpapers
• Many possible combinations of colors and patterns
• Easy process but the results look professional
• Wallpapers can be saved and used immediately

One thing to note:

• Some features are only available in the premium version

These wallpaper apps are very useful if you enjoy changing the look of your phone. Almost all of them are free to download, so why not try them out and make your screen more exciting?
