What is the Galaxy S8 Background Wallpaper Option?
The Galaxy S8 Background Wallpaper option is a way to personalize the phone by setting a personalized image.
Your smartphone is an extension of who you are; you use it for just about everything, from taking pictures and videos to searching the web. So putting a fun and personalized background lets you share with others a little about yourself without divulging too much information.
The great thing about selecting a background is it can be a picture of your grandchild, grandchildren, family, pets picture or one that came with your phone.
When changing the background, keep in mind that it does not change the way the icons look; just the background or wallpaper will change.
If you have trouble with balance, vertigo, or dizziness, you will want to be careful if you are using the motion effects, as this feature adds animation to your background when you move your phone.
