To turn off live wallpaper in your Redmi phone, you generally need to disable the dynamic lock screen feature, often called Wallpaper Carousel or Glance for Xiaomi, or switch from an animated live wallpaper to a static image.
Disabling Dynamic Lock Screen Wallpapers (Wallpaper Carousel/Glance for Xiaomi)
On Redmi devices, "live wallpaper" often refers to the constantly changing images and dynamic content displayed on the lock screen, provided by features like Wallpaper Carousel or Glance for Xiaomi (also known as Glance for Mi). This feature automatically cycles through various wallpapers and information snippets.
Step-by-Step Guide to Turn Off Wallpaper Carousel:
- Open Settings: Tap on the Settings app icon on your Redmi phone's home screen or app drawer.
- Navigate to Lock Screen: Scroll down through the settings menu and tap on Lock screen.
- Find Wallpaper Carousel/Glance: Within the Lock screen settings, look for an option named Wallpaper Carousel or Glance for Mi/Xiaomi. Tap on this option.
- Turn Off the Feature: Inside the Wallpaper Carousel/Glance settings, you will typically find a toggle switch. Tap this switcher to turn it off.
- Confirm (if prompted): Your device might ask for confirmation to disable the feature.
Once disabled, your lock screen wallpaper will remain static, using the last image you set or your device's default wallpaper.
Turning Off Animated Live Wallpapers on Home Screen
If you have set an animated live wallpaper (an actual moving background) on your home screen or a specific lock screen, the process involves replacing it with a static wallpaper.
How to Set a Static Wallpaper:
- Access Wallpaper Settings:
- Go to Settings > Wallpaper.
- Alternatively, long-press on an empty space on your home screen and tap Wallpaper.
- Choose a Static Wallpaper:
- Browse through the available Static wallpapers provided by your system.
- Or, select an image from your Gallery (your personal photos).
- Apply Wallpaper: Tap on the desired static image. You will usually be given options to apply it to your:
- Home screen
- Lock screen
- Both Home and Lock screen
- Confirm: Select the desired application and confirm to replace your current live wallpaper with a static one.
By following these steps, you can effectively turn off dynamic or animated "live wallpapers" on your Redmi device, ensuring your screen background remains consistent.
