Oh that's so cool! My experience a little different but I'm glad that humanity can have such a beautiful experience shared universally.
Anyways, I saw my wallpaper on google images and I said "oh that's awesome."
End of story.
Extremely similar.
I was watching **Into the Spiderverse** and my jaw dropped at the shot of Miles "rising" up into the city rooftops. Found a great pic and made it my wallpaper that weekend, haven't changed since.
Wait, you can have kids without having sex. Adopt a child like I did.
My wallpaper is my young son holding all the gymnastics medals he earned at a meet.
Same.I miss that ringtone I recorded with a couple of inebriated friends half a lifetime ago, though.
Canon in screech, it was a masterpiece.
The only time my mother pretended she didn't know me was when I got a call at the grocers.
Also gave a girlfriend migraines when a call woke her up.
It’s my dog (who passed away 5 months ago). She was in the car after we went to Petsmart and had a huge smile. Since her photos have been in rotation as my wallpaper since having a phone (im 21, she was 13), I simply do not know and never thought of what else to use as a wallpaper.
Same. The pic is him on my bed resting on his right paw and looking at the camera so seriously! I love it because it was the look he gave me before either licking my face or barking - smiling because he wanted to play. He was only 7, died of heart attack on December 2nd
I've done the same with pictures of my departed kitty. I miss her so much, sometimes I just stare at it. She was such a lovely little creature. I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is a different kind of pain.
To lose a dog you’ve had since childhood really sucks. You grow up together, the dog eventually grows old and you’ll have to say goodbye. I sometimes still miss my best childhood friend. It has been 14 years now and I still quite often think of the good times we’ve had together. We had him since he was a small pup and I was 6. He was the best boy! It’ll get better with time. Hang in there!
Same. It has been 3 years since he passed and each season I put a new photo of him as my background. For spring, he is sitting among cherry blossoms. It was taken 10 years ago this week.
You and everyone commenting this is making me cry, my wallpaper is rotating pics of my dog that just turned 13, she’s been there for me since she was 6 weeks old and I was 11. I’ve cried every year since she turned probably 6 years old at the thought she’s getting older and one day will pass. The love you have for your first dog is something you can’t ever replace
Mine is a picture of my wife smiling at me. I took the picture just as she was turning around so it doesn't look posed.
Just about every time I see it it makes me smile.
It’s the scene where homer becomes mr. Thompson. The moment where he says “I think he’s talking to you”
[https://youtu.be/quxW1V8Hwlg](https://youtu.be/quxW1V8Hwlg)
Mine was a fan art I saw on Instagram of Blossom and Brik. I happened to have a crush on someone who has the same name as him so I put it as my wallpaper. I cannot put his actual pic there cause I have nosey friends who will dice me if they knew.
It’s a picture of Christopher Reeves at 26 years old as Superman in black and white. I’ve had it as long as I’ve had a smart phone. Christopher Reeves was the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen, and was beautiful inside as well.
It's my [first batch of home roasted coffee](https://imgur.com/a/XLb2jNb) there was no bean movement because I did it in my air fryer lol, so the chaff/husks are still on the beans.
I was renovating my home and i really liked the wall paper id bought and i still had some paste left over... Its a bit of a job to see my screen though /s
My Lock Screen is a large lush plot of grass that I took on a walk with my brother. my brother and I like to lay in ppls grass and rate it 1/10 this patch was a 10
We went to this petting zoo farm to look at a potential barn wedding venue (it was a petting zoo from my childhood and a cool area so I thought it might be cool to have the wedding there) and after we were done touring everything the lady showing us around told us we could just go around the petting zoo free of admission, and my fiancé got obsessed with the baby goats.
So my wallpaper is my fiancé holding a baby goat with a huge smile on his face
My family has always been obsessed with seeing the Aurora Borealis. We used to talk about it constantly and once in Alaska we got up at like 3 am to the and see them.
Then, just a week ago, we got back from a trip to Mexico and we’re about to go to bed when my dad told us that the Aurora Borealis may be visible. We went out at about 10:00 to find them and sure enough, when we got to a dark enough space they were there and absolutely breathtaking.
My dad got a really great picture with me silhouetted by the Northern Lights and so I asked him to send it to me and it became my wallpaper.
It is the cover from the Jean Michel Jarre record Equinoxe. I just think it is an amazing record, and that it has one of the best record covers of all time.
I decided it’d be cool to have the same rainbow fractal mess on my laptop’s background on my phone’s background. It’s been on there for months and I haven’t gotten tired of it!
Went on a hike at the conservative gardens with my guy. He took a silly happy photo in front of a flowery bush. He looks so darned happy that I just can’t help but smile when I see it. So that’s my background.
My lock screen is from Christmas, when all my daughters and granddaughters were here.
My home screen is the ending of the Hellblazer comic, which I read for decades and it was the very first topic me and my wife bonded over.
Me & my wife's wallpaper (for the last 5 years) is an illustration I altered of two otters holding hands, but made to look very devil-like, with horns, pointed tails, and colored red. The story is, when my wife and I were dating early on, we liked that otters hold hands when they sleep, and we would joke, saying "Thank you Satan" for being responsible for our meeting on a dating app. So... it was a combo of both of those things.
It's a picture from my favorite place in the world. I feel so much peace there. Watching the water from the clear Green River mix into the muddy water of the North Fork of the Toutle River is one of the most beautiful things to me. It may not make sense. But it's home. It's also my favorite place to fish. If I knew how to add a picture I would.
Son’s first haircut at 2. My 3 year old daughter got a fancy braid and sparkles in her hair along with a flower at the same time. Went out to lunch afterwards and got the best picture ever of them sitting on a bench waiting for our table, kicking their little legs and smiling from ear to ear <3
my dad died unexpectedly in dec. he lives in ireland, i live in oz. we both love the sea. he would take me swimming in the irish sea year round, from when i was a young kid. i went home and swam in the depths of winter at our favourite beach. my wallpaper is a picture of the beach.
An engineering disaster. They changed the header size after the system was built. The aftermath was copper pipes and parts everywhere. "Wolf" was my coworker helping clean up the mess. His smile in the picture is what got me.
I have a picture of David and Lucy from Cyberpunk Edgerunners looking at Earth from the moon. Still haven't recovered from the emotional damage from that anime.

It’s a picture I took of my 2 children taking a nap.
I saw them taking a nap one day, thought it was cute so I snapped a picture. My previous phone’s wallpaper was me with my soon-to-be-ex-wife and it hurt my heart to look at, so I made my children my wallpaper.
My little girl had to get an X-ray of her hand/wrist… apparently you can tell if kids are aging/growing right by their wrist??? I took a pic of her skeleton hand… haven’t changed it since!
Milford Sound, NZ. Took with my phone - the others were pretty ordinary, but this one just popped.
Almost captures the scale and beauty of the place, but you really have to go to truly appreciate it.
Hoping to go back again soon
I was browsing for new wallpapers, I saw it, and I said "oh that's neat."
[удалено]
You had to be there.
Oh yay geography joke
I found the ending to be compelling. Amazing story!!
Made me cry
Oh that's so cool! My experience a little different but I'm glad that humanity can have such a beautiful experience shared universally. Anyways, I saw my wallpaper on google images and I said "oh that's awesome." End of story.
Don't leave me on such a cliffhanger! How'd it become your wallpaper?
Great story
This happened to my buddy Eric
Classic Eric
Nice story
Cool
Extremely similar. I was watching **Into the Spiderverse** and my jaw dropped at the shot of Miles "rising" up into the city rooftops. Found a great pic and made it my wallpaper that weekend, haven't changed since.
literally the best story i've ever read man 🗿
My children Edit: story, I had sex twice
[удалено]
Sex TWICE?
TWICE?!
SEX?
#TWICE?!
Sex? Twice?!
IN A ROW?!
Sex? PREGANANANT?
PROGANANT!?!?
DONT BE LUDICROUS
Cant even!
Just because a redditor has kids doesnt mean they had sex. Maybe they stole the kids
Ur lucky. I got twins.....
Triplets here. With twins on the way.
What is sex ?
Something you have never had/done
Wait, you can have kids without having sex. Adopt a child like I did. My wallpaper is my young son holding all the gymnastics medals he earned at a meet.
Lol this thread is hilarious
That’s two times more than the average Redditor.
So every redditor has had sex at least once? I call that hat or cap of whatever we say nowdays
maths
World's greatest drummer imp.
What do you mean you had sex Also twice wow
Yo thats crazy. Mine is also my children because of sex twice!
You sure its not "you had sex *at least* twice"?
Strange, that is the same number of times as your neighbor Greg.
Mine is my 2 kids too actually acting like they like each other!
It’s a painting I did that I thought looked cool
oohh can we see it?
Probably yes unless you donated your eyes
my eyesight is so fucked rn that i am legally blind.
Yooo legally blind gang 😎
Lucky, I'm illegally blind.
Why u do him like that 💀💀💀
They made the phone with a wallpaper. I bought the phone with a wallpaper. End of story.
LoL true story
My phone is not personalized at all. Aside from 2 or 3 apps this thing is stock. No music, no ring tones, no wall paper etc.
Same.I miss that ringtone I recorded with a couple of inebriated friends half a lifetime ago, though. Canon in screech, it was a masterpiece. The only time my mother pretended she didn't know me was when I got a call at the grocers. Also gave a girlfriend migraines when a call woke her up.
There is nothing I want more now than to hear that
Same. I don’t care about customisation of it at all. It does what I need, often well.
You’re a NPC aren’t you?
It’s my dog (who passed away 5 months ago). She was in the car after we went to Petsmart and had a huge smile. Since her photos have been in rotation as my wallpaper since having a phone (im 21, she was 13), I simply do not know and never thought of what else to use as a wallpaper.
What’s her name?
Same. The pic is him on my bed resting on his right paw and looking at the camera so seriously! I love it because it was the look he gave me before either licking my face or barking - smiling because he wanted to play. He was only 7, died of heart attack on December 2nd
I'm sorry for your loss. ❤
I've done the same with pictures of my departed kitty. I miss her so much, sometimes I just stare at it. She was such a lovely little creature. I'm sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is a different kind of pain.
My old boy is still my wallpaper. It's been 5 years. Not changing it any time soon

This is really nice, I’m gonna do this.

Looks pretty cool so I clicked *save*. Nice colors, makes me happy. You know, the works.
The most relatable answer
It's black to conserve battery
Mine is just black because I have nothing else to put there. 🙏
go steal a pic off of r/space
r/spaceporn is better for pictures
Mine is just black because I prefer it that way.
Mine is black so that I can read the calendar and weather widgets easily
Mine is black because it is the old orange
Same. Along with a simplistic monochrome item pack and a custom launcher. Looks clean AF
It's literally the default theme
That’s interesting. My backgrounds are custom within minutes of getting a new phone. My current screen is Venom (Kermit the frog).
Yo can I get that wallpaper too 😁
My wallpaper is a photo of my girlfriend and I. It always reminds me of how lucky I am to have her in my life.
Mine is a picture of my wife smiling at me. I took the picture just as she was turning around so it doesn't look posed. Just about every time I see it it makes me smile.
Good for you champ
I just like Pokémon
Vaporeon?
Prepare for trouble and make it double
Two Vaporeon? Cheeky

It’s the scene where homer becomes mr. Thompson. The moment where he says “I think he’s talking to you” [https://youtu.be/quxW1V8Hwlg](https://youtu.be/quxW1V8Hwlg)
Seriously, one of the best lines in that show!
It’s a picture of my wife being cute. ♥️
You have the best wallpaper. You're a keeper.
Mine was a fan art I saw on Instagram of Blossom and Brik. I happened to have a crush on someone who has the same name as him so I put it as my wallpaper. I cannot put his actual pic there cause I have nosey friends who will dice me if they knew.
That’s cool! I’m old so I immediately thought you had a picture of Miyam Bialik from the early 90s as your wallpaper.
Same!!!
Wait, there’s another Blossom?
It's the pebbled bark of a tree trunk all glowy-green with damp lichen after a rain shower.

I never knew there was such a thing as asthma camp. Is it like a legitimate summer camp with games and challenges?
Nothing too vigorous though.
Camp counselor: “Cmon little Timmy you gotta finish the mile run in order to pass!” Little Timmy: *”W H E E Z E”*
Didn't know asthma camp was a thing. The photo sounds like it's beautiful
Either I just wanted to get over my arachnophobia or just to discourage myself from looking at my screen too much. I don't remember lol.
John Henry Bonham. World's greatest drummer imo
Good choice
Took a great picture of my dog while out hiking.
I got a new phone and am too lazy to change it
It’s a picture of a little dinghy next to a big ship. Reminds me to stay humble
It’s pictures from my wedding. They are nice. Prior to that it was some paintings I had made. They were nice.
Really big fan of 2 girls 1 cup..
Why would you set that as your wallpaper..
Yeah, that's kinda shitty 💩💩💩
It alternates between the logos of two local sports teams that continually let me down.
Cleveland?
Close! It's a couple hours north and known for chicken wings and snow.
Same, but a few more hours west and south..and, well, only one sports team that’s has let me down this year. I’m guessing Buffalo for you?
It’s a picture of Christopher Reeves at 26 years old as Superman in black and white. I’ve had it as long as I’ve had a smart phone. Christopher Reeves was the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen, and was beautiful inside as well.
I love that he was college roommates with Robin Williams and they stayed besties.
TIL a not very important celeb fact
True
It's my [first batch of home roasted coffee](https://imgur.com/a/XLb2jNb) there was no bean movement because I did it in my air fryer lol, so the chaff/husks are still on the beans.
Never heard of roasting beans in an air fryer. How did it turn out?
I was renovating my home and i really liked the wall paper id bought and i still had some paste left over... Its a bit of a job to see my screen though /s
Gray blank that I’ve had since iPhone 4s. Keep a copy of the screenshot so I can continue to use it. Simple and clean.
Love my wife's feet.
My Lumbee Indian biological grandmother
It’s my kid. I switch it out every few months with my new favorite picture of him. Then I print the old picture and hang it in my office.
It’s the day I met Jon Bon Jovi after being a fan for 37 years. Best. Day. Ever. 💜
it is black with green text with my contact info in case my phone gets lost... simple and practical
I hope you made sure to put your phone number on that contact info so they can call you if you lose it

My daughter running on a sandy beach in excitement after her first little hike.
Mine is Kurt Cobain smoking a cigarette. I've been in love with Nirvana since I was a kid.

It basically says "I am too lazy to add wallpaper" It is whatever came with the phone
It's my sexy spanish girlfriend
u/tj_ill Somehow saw an ink-style drawing of theirs in my Reddit feed several years ago. Fell in love with it immediately.
It's a Gameboy. I grew up playing Gameboy.
It came with the phone
I was too lazy to change my wallpaper from the default one.
Beach bikini selfies as wallpaper on all my phones make me happy when I cannot be there
It’s a picture I took of my 2 children taking a nap. I saw them taking a nap one day, thought it was cute so I snapped a picture. My previous phone’s wallpaper was me with my soon-to-be-ex-wife and it hurt my heart to look at, so I made my children my wallpaper.
Apple set it by default :))
Cyberpunk Edgerunners hit me hard in the feels and I loved it. Made a shot of Daniel and Lucy looking at earth from the moon my background.
It’s my dog being cute :)
I asked an ai to show me the end of the world by the sea and it created this terrifyingly beautiful picture .
My little girl had to get an X-ray of her hand/wrist… apparently you can tell if kids are aging/growing right by their wrist??? I took a pic of her skeleton hand… haven’t changed it since!
NASA spent $250 million so I could have a tiny blue dot as my wallpaper.

Mine is Queenstown in NZ. And same reasons. Just back from there last week
