Do live wallpapers drain the battery faster?

Animated wallpapers do use slightly more battery than a static image because the display is constantly rendering motion. The impact varies by device and wallpaper complexity.

Can I preview a wallpaper before setting it?

Yes. Tap any wallpaper in the library to see a full-screen looping preview before you decide to apply it.

Are new wallpapers added regularly?

Yes. The library is updated periodically with new animated wallpapers. Open the app and refresh to see the latest additions.

Do the wallpapers work on both home screen and lock screen?

Yes. When you set a wallpaper you can choose to apply it to the home screen, the lock screen, or both, depending on what your device supports.
