Hello all,
I am having problems with wallpapers on my new Galaxy A9+ tablet
All I want too do is transfere photos from the google photos app into the system wallpapers folder but I just cannot get it to work. I have obviously looked online for the how too but the instructions given just don‘t work. I would be grateful for advice.
Many thanks

Open your Google Photos app, select the photo so that it goes fullscreen, then tap the 3-dot menu button at the upper right. In the options right under the photo, swipe left until you see "Use as" and tap that. Then tap Photos Wallpaper, and you'll get the option to set it as a wallpaper.

Thanks for that but what I‘m trying to do is to set up a group of photo‘s in the wallpaper and style folder so I can easily change them preferably automatically.

In that case, create a new folder anywhere on your internal storage (you can call it something like "My Wallpapers"). Then use the file manager to copy the photos you'd like from the /DCIM/Camera folder to the My Wallpapers folder. If the photos are only in your Google Photos cloud, then open Google Photos, select a photo you want to use, tap the 3-dot menu button, and then Download. This will save the photo to the /Downloads folder. You can then use the file manager to move it to your My Wallpapers folder.

Once you've done this for all of the photos you want to use, then go to the Wallpaper & Style menu, tap More Wallpapers, then My Photos. You should then see your My Wallpapers folder under Device Folders.

Alternatively, you could create a cloud album in your Google Photos called My Wallpapers and add those photos to the cloud album. When you go to My Photos using the steps above, you should also see your cloud album for My Wallpapers there.

In Google photos on the selected photo tap the 3 dots upper right corner and scroll left or right and choose download to gallery or set as
