We asked, you told us: Most get wallpapers from third-party apps
July 02, 2025
Android is all about flexibility and customization. While there are several ways tochange up the look and feelof your phone, switching wallpapers is one of the easiest.
So wedecided to ask you, are you using the wallpapers preinstalled on your phone or do you download them from somewhere else? Here’s what you had to say.
Where do you get your phone’s wallpapers?
A majority of the 1,700 voters in this week’s poll state that they get their wallpapers from athird-party app. This result was closely followed up by nearly a quarter of the participants stating that they get their images from somewhere on the internet.
Most interesting to me is the fact that only 13 percent of the voters use their photos as wallpapers. Almost everyone has a camera with them at any given moment, but the images that they capture are hardly used as a phone’s background.
I personally switch between using my own images as wallpapers and well and those from subreddits such asr/EarthPornandr/Wallpapers.
