Hi,

I want to change the home screen wallpapers like after each 2-3 hours. I am using S23 ultra and i tried the feature like modes and routines.

But it seems they run once on specific time and performs one action which is set on the condition.

It seems I need to create multiple modes/routines to change home screen wallpapers.

Is there any better way in modes/routines for this? And which is better modes or routines.

 Any help on this appreciated.

Yeah, sure you can do this without modes and routine.
Follow this steps :-
1. Go to Settings 😆 Wallpaper > Dynamic
Lock Screen.
2. Toggle on Dynamic Lock Screen.
3. Select the Change frequency option and
choose Every 2 hours or Every 3 hours.
And if this steps doesn't work then go for Google wallpaper app or try other third party apps

While Samsung's built-in Modes and Routines can't directly achieve frequent wallpaper changes, here are some alternative approaches you can consider:
1. Third-Party Launcher Apps:
* Microsoft Launcher: This launcher offers a feature called "Spotlight" that automatically changes your wallpaper based on a schedule or location. You can customize the frequency and choose from various online sources or your own photos.
* Nova Launcher: This popular launcher provides extensive customization options, including the ability to set up wallpaper cycling with plugins like "Wallpaper Changer." This plugin allows you to specify a folder of images and set a timer for automatic changes.
* Action Launcher: Similar to Nova Launcher, Action Launcher supports third-party plugins for wallpaper cycling. You can explore options like "Cover Launcher" or "Pixel Cover" to achieve the desired effect.
2. Tasker (Advanced Automation):
* Tasker is a powerful automation app that offers unparalleled flexibility. You can create complex tasks, including changing wallpapers at specific intervals. However, it requires a steeper learning curve compared to launcher apps.
Additional Tips:
* Cloud Storage: If you plan to use a large number of wallpapers, consider storing them in cloud services like Google Photos or Dropbox for easy access.
* Image Editing: You can use image editing apps to create custom wallpapers or adjust existing ones to fit your preferences.
Remember to explore the specific features and settings of each app to find the best solution for your wallpaper cycling needs.
Which is better: Modes or Routines?
* Modes: Primarily designed for quickly switching between predefined sets of settings (e.g., work mode, sleep mode).
* Routines: More versatile for creating complex automated actions based on various triggers (time, location, etc.).
For frequent wallpaper changes, Routines might be slightly more suitable, but their limitations still make third-party apps or Tasker more effective for this specific purpose.

Currently, Samsung phones lack this functionality; however, it may be achievable through a third-party launcher application.
