AndroidTutor2018- From the Nexus 5 to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, changing the background of your Android device is one of the most straightforward and effective ways of making your phone your own. Beyond the basics there are a handful of wallpaper-modifying tricks that you may not know are out there.

One way of setting up your wallpaper is to have it change on a timed schedule. Doing this means you don't have to sort it out manually; your device is fresh each time you come to use it. There are several approaches you can take, which we'll outline here.
Wallpaper Changer
Installing a dedicated app is perhaps the easiest way of changing your Android device's wallpaper on a schedule. Wallpaper Changer is the best-known app for the job, though there are others around on Google Play.
Fire up Wallpaper Changer to find the app's settings. You can choose a certain number of minutes, hours or days as your interval, set how the app resizes or crops images, opt to change the wallpaper every time you unlock your phone, and set your wallpapers to cycle through in a random order if you prefer.

Wallpaper Changer There are a couple of other settings to tweak: you'll need to choose the Wallpaper Changer live wallpaper as the wallpaper on your device (press and hold a blank part of the home screen to do this) and then compile a group of images via the Albums tab. If you upgrade to the Pro version of Wallpaper Changer you can manage several different albums.
IFTTT
Another way of rotating through several wallpapers on your Android device is via the always-impressive "If This Then That (IFTTT)". It connects apps and services using triggers that lead to actions — and one of the supported actions is switching the background on a connected Android device.

IFTTT Once you've signed up to IFTTT and started work on your wallpaper-shifting recipe, you can choose all kinds of triggers: a new photo in a Dropbox folder, a newly liked image on Instagram, a new picture from an RSS feed, something from your Flickr feed, and so on.
For example, we created a Recipe to change the wallpaper on a Redmi Note 3 whenever IFTTT found a new public Instagram photo taken in a nearby city center. It's not as straightforward a solution as using a dedicated app, but it gives you a lot more flexibility when setting the routine.

Arrow Launcher by Microsoft
Microsoft's sleek Arrow Launcher includes Bing wallpapers that are updated daily. If you have a Windows PC, you might already be familiar with these beautiful wallpapers on your computer's lock screen. It also intelligently presents you with apps based on your location, adding to a more dynamic experience that goes a few steps beyond automatic wallpaper rotation. The more you use the launcher, the better it gets. Plus, it is optimized to save battery and memory.

Arrow Launcher Wallpapers by Google
Pick a category and get stunning wallpapers everyday courtesy of Google. If you have Nougat LINK you can have one on your homescreen, and a different one on your lock screen. Their selection of wallpapers is constantly growing, with pictures coming from Google Earth, Google+ and others.

I've really enjoyed using Pattrn on my Samsung Galaxy S5! Members of Color Lover create detailed images, graphics and even characters using 5 color-themes. Then through the app, you can favorite the ones you like and choose whether to show only your favorites, a specific one to change at your leisure, or shuffle them all up! I've used it on 2 phones now for 4 years and haven't been disappointed yet. (And yes, it is spelled Pattrn!)

Don't know what phone you've got but on a Sony experia it's easy just go to settings press display, personalisation, wallpaper choose between lockscreen, home screen, or home and lockscreen, i think zedge app for wallpaper and notification sounds is the best and it's free
