Wallpapers automatically change

[nicky698]

For some reason every night device changes wallpapers automatically,  how do I disable it?

I set it to plain color but next day i get some random wallpaper

It sounds Iike you might have a Mode or Routine running overnight that changes your wallpaper. This is probably Sleep Mode.

Go into Settings > Modes and Routines. Open Sleep Mode and go all the way to the bottom of the page. Here you will be able to change or remove lock screen and wallpaper settings for that Mode.

Oh my God, THANK YOU! I have been experiencing this every evening my home screen and lock screen pictures would change. I called Samsung twice, I contacted EE. No one could figure it out. Why is this even a feature?! Thank you for your answer, you're a legend.

It can be a helpful feature. It's a very obvious way of reminding me that a Mode is running (I'm old and don't always notice the little icon at the bottom of the lock screen). 😊

I agree with you though - this should not be a default setting. Things like this should only be active if the user deliberately sets them that way.

there was some sleep mode set although nothing said about wallpaper,  deleted it. will see tomorrow but looks like it might be it

still same thing, also it happens at random times in morning.  i removed Microsoft launcher (it wasn't enabled) let's see if that helps.. getting very annoying

Microsoft launcher, it wasn't set as default or used, but was quietly changing backgrounds lol
