Wallpaper image requirements
To get the best experience, keep the following tips in mind when choosing or designing your images:
- Avoid using clustered images that can make it hard for you to identify phone lines on the home screen. Simplicity is key when selecting wallpapers.
- Ensure that your chosen wallpapers match your phone's color scheme. Opt for wallpapers that complement either the dark or light color palettes. Dark images are best suited for dark mode, while light images work well for light mode.
- Avoid using high contrast images as wallpapers. The extreme contrast can make it challenging to see the logo and other screen elements against the background.
- Avoid using dynamic images as wallpapers.
