How to change Galaxy S7 Home screen Wallpaper
Like the Galaxy S6, the process is similar to change the Galaxy S7 wallpaper. All you need to do is press and hold an empty space on the Home screen. This will bring up the edit mode where you can add widgets, change homescreen settings, and also change the wallpaper. Select on “Wallpaper”, then select “Lock screen.”
By default the Samsung Galaxy S7 has several different wallpaper options for the home screen, but you can always select “more images” and select from any image that you have taken on your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge. Once you’ve found the image you want, hit the Set Wallpaper button.
