Oppo: Change the Lock Screen Wallpaper

If your lock screen keeps showing the same picture as your home screen, ColorOS is applying wallpaper changes to both screens by default. This happens with your own photos, standard wallpapers, and live wallpapers alike. You need to pick the target screen manually to keep the two separate.

Change Lock Screen Wallpaper auf Oppo

ColorOS stores home screen and lock screen wallpapers as two separate slots, but the picker opens with one shared gallery for both.

If you only choose an image and confirm without picking a target, most Oppo phones apply the wallpaper to both screens at once. That is why a new lock screen picture can silently overwrite your home screen too, or the other way round.

Open SettingsPersonalizationsWallpapers. Tap Photos to browse your own gallery, or pick one of the standard wallpapers instead.

After you select a photo, tap Apply. On the next screen, choose Lock screen from the option list rather than the combined option. This applies the picture only to the lock screen and leaves your home screen untouched.

Live wallpapers follow the same steps. Motion effects on the lock screen can use a bit more battery than a static image, especially with the screen waking often. If the phone feels slower after switching, going back to a static wallpaper is usually the faster fix.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Pick the live wallpaper in Wallpapers, tap Apply, then select Lock screen instead of the combined option. Repeat the process with a static image and apply it to Home screen separately.
