On Pixel devices, there’s a service called Wallpaper & Style that gives you a lot of personalization control. Along with the usual smattering of default Android wallpapers, Google will sometimes load in Pixel-exclusive wallpapers that are only around for a short period of time. Today, we saw two new sets of Pixel wallpapers landing, both related to football teams (aka soccer) in the United Kingdom.

The Liverpool and Arsenal football clubs are represented here with eight wallpapers each, for a total of 16 new wallpapers. You can see all of them below. However, please don’t download the wallpapers from these galleries, as they have been heavily compressed and won’t look great on your phone. Instead, scroll down to the bottom of the article and find a button to download all of them in full quality.

Download these wallpapers for yourself

Don’t own a Pixel or haven’t seen the update yet? You can simply download these wallpapers for yourself and use them on any device you like. Click the button below to get them all in their high-resolution form.

Today, Apple officially launched iOS 18, the latest software version powering iPhones. iOS 18 is now rolling out in beta form to supported iPhones (pretty much everything after the 2018 iPhone XS is supported). If you’re brave enough to download it, you’ll get treated to two new iOS 18 wallpapers, among all the new features Apple announced today.

However, installing the beta is risky business. We are already hearing reports of lots of problems, including overheating, disappearing icons, and more.

The simplest way to customize the look of your phone is by changing the wallpaper. Changing your phone’s background takes very little effort; the hard part is finding the right image. Sometimes, it’s better not to complicate things, especially if an elaborate wallpaper will simply be covered by a bunch of icons and widgets. If you prefer to keep your background minimal, we have put together a collection of awesome gradient wallpapers for your phone.

Let’s start by explaining how our wallpaper posts work. While it might be your first instinct, you shouldn’t simply download the wallpapers below. These images are compressed and have been optimized for improved website performance, which means they won’t look as good. These are considered image previews, and are meant for you to look through the wallpapers and decide which ones you like. When ready, click on the download button below the previews to get the full-resolution files in all their glory.

Welcome to Wallpaper Wednesday! In this weekly roundup, we’ll give you a handful of Android wallpapers you can download and use on your phone, tablet, or even your laptop/PC. The images will come from folks here at Android Authority as well as our readers. All are free to use and come without watermarks. File formats are JPG and PNG, and we’ll provide images in both landscape and portrait modes, so they’ll be optimized for various screens.

Wallpaper Wednesday: May 29, 2024

Another week, another set of awesome Android wallpapers for you to share! Remember that we are always looking for submissions from our readers. Head to the bottom of this article to find out how you could have one of your images featured in an upcoming Wallpaper Wednesday!

We’ve got three awesome images from our readers that would look great on your phone, tablet, or PC. As usual, we also have some images from the Android Authority team.

First, we have a super fun pic of a child in enormous sunglasses covered in Holi colors. That shot comes from Antaryami Das, who captured it with a Poco X4 Pro! Next, we have a great shot of Calangute Beach in Goa from reader Krishnadas, who shot it with a Redmi K20 Pro! Finally, we have an amazing photo of a lightbulb in front of a mirror from reader Jay Arnol. Jay shot that with a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and made some light edits using OLEDBuddy to get pure blacks. Thanks so much for your submissions, all!

From the Android Authority team, we have a shot of the Velasca Tower in Italy from Dhruv Bhutani. Next, we have some green plant stems from Rita El Khoury. Finally, we have a nice perspective shot of some building patios from Hadlee Simons.

Be sure to download these photos in their high resolutions from this Drive link!

How to submit your own Android wallpapers

We are very excited to see your own contributions to our Wallpaper Wednesdays project. Before submitting, here are the rules:

• Your submissions should be your own creation. That means photos you took, digital art you created, etc. Please don’t submit other people’s work — that’s just not cool. Also, please avoid sending images purely created with AI. Images you created and then augmented with AI tools are OK.
• You must agree to let Android Authority share your Android wallpapers for free with anyone who wants them.
• We will not accept watermarked images. You will, however, get a credit and a link in the article itself. We can link to your social media account only.

Ready to submit? Fill out the form below. You’ll need to include the highest-resolution version of the image you can provide, your name, and a brief description of what the image is. If you want us to link to a social media page you own in your credit, please provide that, too, but that’s optional.

Google’s Pixel phones have always had great wallpapers. The first few generations amazed us with live wallpapers designed in collaboration with studios such as B-Reel and ustwo. Lately, Google has released some great minimalistic static wallpapers designed in collaboration with various artists, such as Andrew Zuckerman, who created the wallpapers for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8a. Now, thanks to a source inside Google, we’re able to share the Pixel 9 series wallpapers early.

Because the wallpapers match their respective phone colorways, we can also preview the colors of the upcoming Pixel 9 series devices. Please keep in mind that these are early codenames, and Google is likely to use different names in its final marketing materials. It’s also possible that some of these colors might not end up being available at launch — or ever.

No matter which road you’ve chosen to travel, chances are you have a smartphone, and there is no better way to represent your lifestyle than with a matching wallpaper. The bohemians among us will likely identify with artistic and unconventional images. This is why we have put together a collection of great boho wallpapers for your phone.

Download these boho wallpapers for your phone

First things first, let’s tell you how things work with these wallpaper posts. While it might be your first instinct, do not download the images you see right below. They are compressed and optimized for improved website performance, so they won’t look as good as they could. They are for demonstration purposes only. You can look through them to find your favorite ones, then click on the download button right below them to download the full-resolution files.

How to set these boho wallpapers on your phone

Did you find your favorite boho wallpapers? It’s time to set them as your wallpaper, and we can help you figure out how to do this. The great thing about wallpapers is that they are simply images, so you can use them on any device that allows you to change the background. These are mainly made for phones, so we’ve put together step-by-step instructions for the two leading mobile platforms: Android and iOS.

As previously mentioned, make sure to grab your boho wallpapers from the download button right below the previews. It would be easier to download them straight from the device you’ll be using the wallpapers on, but you can also grab them using any other device. Then, simply transfer the boho wallpapers to your phone using a USB cable, Bluetooth, a cloud storage service like Google Drive, or send them to yourself via email. Just ensure you don’t use a service that compresses images, as this would defeat the purpose. Services like Messenger or WhatsApp reduce the image quality.

Once you have your boho wallpapers on your phone, use the instructions below to set them as your background.

How to set these boho wallpapers on an Android phone:

1. Launch the Settings app.
2. Go into Wallpaper & style.
3. Select More wallpapers.
4. Find and select your boho wallpaper.
5. Modify the boho wallpaper to your liking, then hit Set wallpaper.
6. Choose whether you want to set the boho wallpaper on your Home screen, Lock screen, or Home and lock screens.

How to set these boho wallpapers on an iPhone:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Go into the Wallpaper option.
3. Tap on Add New Wallpaper.
4. Find and select your boho wallpaper.
5. Modify the boho wallpaper to your liking, then hit Add.
6. Select Set as Wallpaper Pair.

Editor’s note: We formulated these instructions using a Google Pixel 7 running Android 14 and an Apple iPhone 12 Mini running iOS 17.5. Some steps and menus may be different depending on your device and its software version.

If these boho wallpapers don’t quite convince you, we have some similar collections with very interesting options. Take a look at our posts with artistic wallpapers, eccentric wallpapers, or funky wallpapers. You can also check out all the best stock Android wallpapers from the most popular devices. These are all mainstream ones, but there are some unique options in there.

Changing your phone’s wallpaper is the easiest way to give your device some personality. Of course, you want something that looks great, and nothing represents great aesthetics like the Art Deco movement. It has been turning buildings, bridges, house items, and anything you can think of into art pieces since the early 1900’s. There are still plenty of fans, so we know many of you will love these Art Deco wallpapers for your phone.

Wallpapers don’t have to have a specific meaning. Nor do they have to portray recognizable things, places, or characters. There is beauty in random shapes and colors that just happen to look good. That is why Samsung wallpapers have become so popular. These look great and certainly evoke some feelings, but they have a very non-representational nature. We have put together a collection of awesome abstract wallpapers for your phone. Let’s get to them!

We have to let you know how things work with our wallpaper posts before moving forward. You will need to download whichever wallpapers you prefer first, but don’t just save the images you see below.

Instead, click on the button below the previews to download the full-resolution abstract wallpapers for your phone.

Google has released two new and exclusive wallpapers for Pixel fans and they are all about minty fresh beaches.

We should start by telling you the basics of how things work with our wallpaper posts. You first need to download these minimalist wallpapers, but don’t just go saving the image previews you see below. These have been compressed and optimized for improved website performance. They are not full-resolution files, and won’t look as good. Instead, scroll a little lower and click on the download button below the image previews. You can get the higher-quality backgrounds there.

Otherwise, you can download them on any other device and transfer the files to your smartphone. Our favorite transfer methods are using a USB cable, Bluetooth, or Google Drive. Emailing it to yourself also works. Just make sure to get it on your device!

Once your minimalist wallpaper is on the phone you want to set it on, follow the steps below.

How to set a wallpaper on Android:

1. Launch the Settings app.
2. Tap on the Wallpaper & style option.
