How to Set Up Live Wallpapers on Android

Introduction

Many people enjoy setting their favorite images as wallpapers on their Android devices. But did you know that you can also set "live wallpapers" on Android?

Unlike regular static wallpapers, live wallpapers display animations and movement. In this article, we'll show you how to set up live wallpapers using the "WidgetClub" app.

What are Live Wallpapers?

Live wallpapers are a feature that allows you to set animations or videos as your background. This makes your smartphone's home screen or lock screen more dynamic and visually appealing. Unlike static wallpapers, live wallpapers provide visual enjoyment and can include interactive elements.

How to Set Up Live Wallpapers

Here, we will introduce the steps to set your favorite video as a live wallpaper using WidgetClub.

1. Record or Select a Video

If the video is too long, edit it to save it within 50MB. (Longer videos are okay if the size is smaller.)

Since Android plays the video’s sound by default, mute the audio before saving if you don't want the sound to play every time you turn on your screen.

2. Download & Install the WidgetClub App

Download and install it from the Google Play Store.

3. Tap "Create" from the Bottom Menu and Select "Live Wallpaper (trial)"

4. Select the Video You Want to Set from Your Device

5. Adjust the Start and End of the Video by Moving the Bar

6. Tap "SAVE" in the Upper Right Corner

When the message "Do you want to go to set after seeing the AD" appears, Tap "OK"

If you have a premium plan, you do not need to watch the ads.†

7. Once the Wallpaper is Ready, Tap the "Set wallpaper" Button

Select "Home screen" or "Home screen and lock screen"

8. Return to the Home Screen to See Your Live Wallpaper

Where the Live Wallpaper is Saved

You can find it under "Settings" → "Wallpaper & style" → "More wallpapers" → "Live wallpapers" → "WidgetClub". This allows you to easily switch back to it if you change wallpapers.

Points to Consider When Using Live Wallpapers

While live wallpapers are appealing, there are a few points to keep in mind.

• Battery Consumption: Live wallpapers consume more battery compared to static images. If you're concerned about battery life, consider using power-saving settings.
• Performance: On some lower-spec devices, live wallpapers can impact performance and cause freezing issues. If this happens, it's recommended to switch back to a static wallpaper.
