There is an image behind the icons on your Galaxy On5 Home screen that the device identifies as your wallpaper.
If you have never changed this, then it is probably a swirling design that is appealing but not very distracting.
If you have looked at other people’s phones, however, you might notice that their Home screen wallpapers look different than yours.
This is a customizable area on your device, and you can select from a number of different default wallpapers, or even use a picture that you took yourself.
Our guide below will show you where to go so you can choose your own wallpaper for the Galaxy On5.

Step 1: Tap the Apps icon.
Step 2: Select the Settings option.
Step 3: Tap the Wallpaper option.
