Hi all, 

 I woke up this morning to see my wallpaper and lockscreen were a picture of weird shapes with numbers in them. I saw I needed a phone update so I did that and changed photo back to what I had but it then changed to another random pic half hour later.

I was told to soft reset which I did and once again changed to my photo. An hour later it again changed to something really random, would someone please help. I'm cautious with everything , haven't done anything strange and have a very good virus protection .

 

 

 

Thank you

Hello friend! Not sure how old this post is? But having the same problem. 

 

My question... Do you have the option selected that changes your theme past a certain time of night?

 

Just wondering if that's what my dumb self is stressing with. I'm sure you would probably be aware. I'm a bit of a noob, just curious how to fix my sentimental background. I've changed it multiple times... Or changed it back any how? Lol

 

I'll try messing with this option and try to report back if I get a good result. Thank you for your post my friend. Hope we can solve our problems.

I do have my wallpaper change when my phone goes into sleep mode. It wasn't doing this weird behavior when I first changed it, but we'll see how it goes tonight. I've removed the chosen setting 🤞

Figured it out. Do either of you that have this issue have Microsoft Launcher installed? I think an update just allowed it to do the wallpaper change that the launcher allows. I uninstalled the app and all is well again!

I tried everything to no avail until I saw the post about launcher. I removed that 26 hours ago and it hasn't changed since. It was changing daily sometimes multiple times a day. So removing launcher seems to work for me. Thank you for sharing that

I just did that let me see if it changes. For some reasons. I thought it was the microsoft Launcher. But then I thought how can microsoft launcher that is not activated just installed do something like this. Well that pretty weird. I have to go and review microsoft launcher on Playstore and give it a 1 star rating if this was the case.
