The bottom line
You know what? You’re probably a lot more familiar with changing the wallpaper on your phone than you think.
And that’s great! It’s not so hard to do, but there are some things you should know before you start: firstly that there is no need to delete any photos from your device before making changes (they won’t go away), and secondly that cropping isn’t as simple as just dragging one corner over another though it will still work if done correctly enough times.
So if like me then when I see someone talking about how easy it is just to change their background image I feel like everyone else does too because they’ve never tried it themselves!
