Adding fresh wallpaper is one of the easiest ways to spice up your Android home screen.
Changing the wallpaper or the background is one of the easiest customizations for giving your Android home screen a fresh look. And if you use a dedicated wallpaper app, you can not only find the wallpaper you want by category but also the one that fits your device’s resolution and aspect ratio. It’s just more convenient to have a dedicated app on your phone instead of searching for images online and going through the steps of manually downloading, cropping, and applying them to your phone.
There are a ton of wallpaper apps on the Google Play Store, so we decided to make it easier for you by highlighting the best ones you can get right now.
Backdrops is a great way to get some good wallpapers. One of its greatest features is that its catalog is updated on a daily basis, so you’ll find something new to download every time you open the app. The free version is enough to get all the wallpapers you’ll ever need, but you can also choose to pay a one-time fee for the Pro version and unlock an ad-free experience, an exclusive Pro collection of wallpapers, and more.
Backdrops will let you either download the wallpaper on your phone or automatically set it right from the app. You can also click on an option to see more details, including its resolution, file size, number of downloads, and more. Backdrops is a fairly simple application that’s easy to use and doesn’t always force a premium subscription on you to enjoy some fresh wallpapers.

As the same suggests, these are abstract wallpapers, and they’re distributed under different categories. You’ll get almost all the stock OnePlus wallpapers in this app. You’ll also find plenty of other collections made by Olsson, but a majority of them will require you to unlock the Pro version to get. It’s a good way to support a creator and download their work, so be sure to check it out if you want some high-quality abstract wallpapers.
