So, you’ve got these cute images from lots of creatives but you don’t know how to use them! Here is your step-by- step guide for iPhone and Android on how to add an image as your new background.

iPhone

1. Go to the photo on your camera roll that you want to be your wallpaper background

2. Click the box with the arrow coming out, pointing up

3. Scroll Down and click “Use as Wallpaper”

4. This will show you the image the way it will appear on your phone. You can move it around with your two fingers by pinching the screen and then expanding it the way you would to see an image larger. Do this until you like the way it appears on your screen.

5. Then press SET if you like it or CANCEL if you want to choose a different image.

6. If you are ready to press SET, it will prompt 3 options: Set Lock Screen, Set Home Screen or Set Both. You can choose which you prefer or again, press cancel if you don’t like the way it looks.

7. Setting as HOME screen will be the screen that you see when you are active on your phone.

8. Setting as LOCK screen will be the screen that appears when your phone is in the locked position (before you get into the phone menu.)

9. Setting as BOTH will provide you the same image on both screens – I tend to choose this option.

10. That’s it! Now you know how to change your iPhone Wallpaper Background!

Like everything on our phones and computers, there are 5 ways to do each thing. If you know another way, by all means, continue to do it the way you know!

Android

1. Start by pressing and holding a blank area on your home screen (be sure you are not holding down any apps), and home screen options will appear.

2. Select ADD WALLPAPER and choose whether you want the image for HOME SCREEN LOCK SCREEN or HOME AND LOCK SCREEN.

3. Another set of options will appear where you can choose where the photo you would like to use will be coming from: GALLERY, PHOTOS, LIVE WALLPAPERS, WALLPAPERS.

4. Choose your photo from the GALLERY and then crop the image to the size you’d like.

5. When you have it the way you like, click DONE.

6. That’s it! Now you know how to change your iPhone Wallpaper Background!
