How to set Lock screen wallpaper using Microsoft Launcher on Android

On Android, the Microsoft Launcher app is perhaps the best alternative to the default launcher to customize your phone experience. However, early releases included limited options to customize the Lock screen appearance and depending on the variant of the operating system, it was difficult to set a custom wallpaper in the Lock screen.

Now, the launcher has matured, and among other features, it’s now possible to customize the Lock screen as well as the Home screen wallpaper any way you like. Using the latest version, you can choose to set a single custom wallpaper in the Lock screen, Bing images that change every morning, or you can even set a custom slideshow that rotates every day.

In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to set a custom or daily wallpaper on your Android phone using Microsoft Launcher.
