Which Android versions are supported?

Our current wallpaper apps require Android 8.0 Oreo or later. Availability can also depend on your device, manufacturer, Google Play region, and app version. If Google Play marks an app as incompatible, your device may not meet one of its current requirements.

Are the apps free?

Master Developer wallpaper apps are free to download and use. Some apps may display ads to support their continued development.

What permissions do the apps use?

The apps use only the permissions needed for their available features:

• Internet and network access: to load wallpaper catalogs, images, updates, and other online content.
• Set wallpaper: to apply an image to your Home screen, Lock screen, or both.
• Notifications: on Android 13 or later, an app may ask for permission before sending optional wallpaper or app update notifications. This permission is not required to browse, download, share, or apply wallpapers, and notification availability depends on the app.
• Storage on Android 8 and 9: this may be requested only when you choose to save a wallpaper to the public gallery. Android 10 or later does not require this storage permission for downloads.

Does the app have access to all my photos and files?

No. Applying and sharing a wallpaper uses the app's private cache and Android's secure sharing tools. On Android 10 or later, downloaded images are added to the gallery through Android's media system without giving the app general access to your photo library. On Android 8 and 9, storage permission is used only to save the requested image to the gallery.

How do I apply, download, or share a wallpaper?

Open a wallpaper and use the available action:

• Apply: choose the Home screen, Lock screen, or both.
• Download: save a full-resolution copy to your device's Pictures collection. The folder name may vary by app.
• Share: send the image through Android's standard sharing menu.

If the full-resolution image is not already cached, an internet connection is needed before the action can finish. Lock screen support and the final crop may vary by device manufacturer or launcher.

Do the apps work offline?

Offline use is partial. Wallpaper catalogs and images that were loaded previously may remain available from the app's cache. An internet connection is still required for new content, images that have not been loaded before, and some online features. Clearing the cache removes cached images and they will need to be downloaded again.

Why are images slow to load or temporarily unavailable?

High-resolution images can be large, so loading time depends on your connection, device, and the availability of the content service. Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, disabling a VPN or data-saving restriction temporarily, and opening the app again.

A category or image may occasionally be unavailable while other content continues to work. If your connection is stable, please wait a little and try again later.

How do Favorites and Backup & Restore work?

Favorites and preferences are stored locally on your device. You can add or remove a favorite from the gallery or wallpaper details, depending on the app.

Where available in Settings, Export backup creates a portable file containing your favorites and supported preferences, and Import backup restores them. Keep that file in a safe location before reinstalling the app, moving to another device, or clearing app data. Downloaded wallpaper image files are not included in this backup.

How does Automatic Change work?

Automatic Change can periodically apply an eligible wallpaper to the Home screen, Lock screen, or both. Available intervals are 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours, with random or sequential selection. A network connection is required when Android runs the scheduled change; if the Wi-Fi-only option is enabled, an unmetered connection is required.

The available sources and filters depend on the app. The themed apps can use all wallpapers or Favorites. WallPlus can also use selected categories and tag filters.

Android manages background scheduling, so a change may happen later than the selected interval because of battery optimization, network conditions, device restrictions, or power-saving mode. The app does not run a continuous background service.

Why am I having trouble updating an app?

Google Play installs updates automatically only when automatic updates are enabled on your device. You can also open the app's Google Play page and check whether an Update button is available.

If you cannot update, check that your device runs Android 8.0 or later, has enough free space, is signed in to the correct Google account, and can connect to Google Play. An update may also be released gradually or no longer support a particular device.

Application Not Working Properly?

Please try these steps one by one:

Important: Clear cache and Clear storage/data are different actions. Clearing storage/data can remove local favorites and preferences. Export a backup first whenever possible.

Why does applying a wallpaper look different on my device?

Android brands and launchers may crop, zoom, scroll, dim, or process wallpapers differently. Some devices also restrict Lock screen changes or background activity. These behaviors are controlled by your device and may not be fully adjustable from the app.

If an image is applied but looks different from the preview, check your device's Wallpaper, Home screen, Lock screen, Display, and Battery settings for manufacturer-specific options.
