Today my personailzed dynamic wallpapers automatically reverted to default setting and now I am unable to change setting of the dynamic wallpapers to personalise it using pictures from my gallery. Someone please tell me what's going on and why has this suddenly happened without any prior information and how can I choose my own photos in dynamic wallpaper like before with 15 pictures?
Restart your phone to check if it’s a temporary glitch. Then, update your phone by going to Settings > Software Update, and also update Samsung Themes & Wallpaper and Style from the Galaxy Store. Try enabling it again by going to Settings > Wallpaper and Style > Change Wallpaper > Wallpaper Services and see if you can still select your own images. If the option is missing, Samsung may have removed it in a recent update. In that case, you can use third-party apps like "Dynamic Wallpaper" or "Wallpapers by Google" to rotate wallpapers from your gallery.
