Thanks for using Wallpapers! Answers to common questions are below. If you need more help, contact us via GitHub Issues.
iOS does not let apps change the wallpaper directly. In Wallpapers, open a photo and tap the Save button to save it to your photo library. Then open the Photos app, open the image, tap Share → Use as Wallpaper, adjust and tap Add.
Only when you save an image. The app requests add-only access so it can write wallpapers to your library. It never reads or uploads your existing photos.
Wallpapers is free and funded by ads. The tracking prompt (App Tracking Transparency) lets you allow personalized ads via Google AdMob. You can change your choice at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. Details: Privacy Policy.
Results come live from several image providers over the network. Check your connection,
try a simpler keyword (e.g. nature, ocean), and pull to retry.
If one provider is down, results from the others still appear.
Favorites are stored only on your device (no account, no cloud sync). Deleting the app or clearing its data removes them permanently — they cannot be restored.
Open the Me tab and use the cache display / clear-cache option. Downloaded full-size images you saved to Photos are managed in the Photos app.
Images come from third-party providers (Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, Flickr, Openverse, Wikimedia Commons, Bing). Please open an issue with the search keyword or category where you saw it plus a description, and we will review the source query.
