Android Central Question

I downloaded a pic and I have it as my wallpaper but I can't get it as my home screen. How do I do that?

Welcome to Android Central! You mentioned that it's your wallpaper -- do you mean it's only the wallpaper for your lockscreen, and you want it as the wallpaper for your homescreen as well?

"Wallpaper" is the screen background. You can have different (or the same) wallpaper on your home screen and your lock screen, but for the picture to be wallpaper, it has to be on one of them. (The picture itself doesn't make it wallpaper - any picture can be wallpaper.)

Use an app like Wallpaper Wizardrii to see the wallpaper, if just going to the native wallpaper on the phone (long-press a blank spot on the screen, then choose wallpaper) doesn't allow it, and Google Photos won't allow it. (Or use any wallpaper app, like Wallpaper Changer, from Play.)
