Published in Realme Customization 3 mins read

Changing your lock screen wallpaper on your Realme 7i is a straightforward process that allows you to personalize your device with static images, dynamic live wallpapers, or even your own cherished photos. Realme UI offers a diverse selection of beautifully designed options, including interactive live wallpapers, to enhance your phone's aesthetic.

Two Simple Methods to Customize Your Lock Screen Wallpaper

You can easily change your lock screen wallpaper using either the home screen shortcut or through the device settings. Both methods provide access to Realme's default wallpaper collection and your personal photo gallery.

Method 1: Using the Home Screen Shortcut

This is often the quickest way to access wallpaper customization options.

  1. Navigate to your Home Screen: Ensure you are on an empty area of your Realme 7i's home screen, not over an app icon or widget.
  2. Access Wallpaper Options:
    • Long-Press: Press and hold your finger on an empty space on the home screen.
    • Pinch In: Alternatively, pinch two fingers together on the home screen (similar to zooming out).
  3. Select "Wallpapers": A menu will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the "Wallpapers" option.
  4. Choose Your Wallpaper Source:
    • Static Wallpapers: Browse the collection of pre-installed static images provided by Realme UI.
    • Live Wallpapers: Explore animated backgrounds, some of which may be interactive.
    • Photos/Albums: Select a picture directly from your phone's gallery (e.g., your camera roll, downloaded images).
  5. Select Your Desired Wallpaper: Tap on the image or live wallpaper you wish to use.
  6. Apply to Lock Screen: After selecting, you will typically see an option like "Apply" or "Set as." Tap this, and then choose "Lock screen wallpaper" or "Set as Lock Screen." If prompted, confirm your selection.

Method 2: Through the Settings Application

The Settings app provides a comprehensive way to manage various customization aspects of your Realme 7i.

  1. Open Settings: Tap on the "Settings" app icon from your home screen or app drawer.
  2. Navigate to Personalization: Scroll down and tap on "Personalization" or "Home screen & Lock screen" (the exact naming may vary slightly depending on your Realme UI version).
  3. Access Wallpaper Options: Within this section, tap on "Wallpapers."
  4. Select Your Wallpaper Source: Similar to Method 1, you will be presented with options for:
    • Static Wallpapers: Realme's built-in collection.
    • Live Wallpapers: Dynamic and interactive backgrounds.
    • Photos/Albums: Your personal images from the gallery.
  5. Choose Your Wallpaper: Browse and select the image or live wallpaper you prefer.
  6. Apply to Lock Screen: Tap "Apply" or "Set as" and then specifically choose "Lock screen wallpaper" or "Set as Lock Screen" to apply it to your lock screen.
