it's without a doubt the number one question we get when posting a video well can I have it we can't always answer those questions so instead I'm going a bit behind the scenes to show you where we get our wallpapers from so you can find awesome web papers yourself ok so there are a few apps and websites we use specifically to find new backgrounds first let's start with the desktop which will translate over to mobile the main place we find wallpapers is unsplash unsplash is a theme you're gonna hear throughout this video a lot this is a website with tons of user submitted photos they are for the most part photographs so not really renders which are the types that we typically use in videos but these are high quality photos that work great for wallpapers another thing to note is they are all royalty-free so you can use them for pretty much anything wallpaper school project website these are free to use with the site you can search for different categories there are collections that have been put together for you to help find what you're looking for this is an excellent resource not only for wallpapers but for photos in general highly recommend now let's move over to mobile both on Android and iOS it's a similar story we use apps that essentially curate the awesome photos that you find from unsplash and a few others let's start with Android the first app is called my splash this is a free app that essentially is a portal to the unsplash website but because it's a native app it makes downloading much easier it works in a similar way to the unsplash website you have different sections like trending new and featured and you can search for the type of photos that you want and filter them by keywords once you find photos you can bookmark them and favorite photos and you can see what it will look like with icons overlaid and easily download them to your device it's my favorite resource for photos on Android and it's free so it's worth checking out now moving away from my splash another excellent Android app is called backdrops this app has less photographs than the splash and is more digital renders but they are high quality and super easy to download and set as your wallpaper there's a pro version that will give you access to more wallpapers and remove but even without paying there's a great selection when you select a wallpaper you can see the resolution and size you can also set it as your wallpaper right from the app so you don't have to download the image there's also a section to explore user-submitted content and this gets updated rather frequently my favorite part of this app though is I can always count on the photos being high quality she's usually my first stop on Android alright so let's move over to iOS now unsplash actually has their own I Oh s app but I picked a few different apps that I think are better suited for wallpapers themselves even though a lot of it is curated from unsplash the first app here is called vellum with this app there are curated albums of different types of wallpapers and there's a new wallpaper that is released every single day a lot of these wallpapers also come from unsplash although not all of them the best thing is though they are formatted correctly for the iPhone and they're they're super easy to download there is a paid version again but with this you'll have access to all the previous daily wallpapers the free version just lets you see the current daily wallpaper the best part about vellum though is how it lets you see what the wallpaper will look like once applied before I even downloading it there's a preview section that will overlay apps or a lock screen so you don't have to go through the process of actually installing the wallpaper and setting it you can even blur the background if you want this makes browsing superfast and best of all it keeps all those unused wallpapers out of your camera well which is nice the next app on iOS is called background and this is probably my favorite of the entire bunch just because of how its implemented there's also a paid version of this again that unlocks a few more features but the main content comes from Lund splash you can search for types of photos there's a curated section and a section for your favorites but the best feature is how you actually view the photos that uses the accelerometer and your phone to allow you to see different parts of the image and how will actually look as a wallpaper most of the photos from unsplash are not formatted for an iPhone so you have to do that yourself but with this app it fills the screen for you so you can see exactly how when you find the wallpaper you want you just hold down and get saved and you can set it this is by far the fastest and easiest way to find wallpapers and it's my go-to on iOS the last place I get my wallpapers from is just from photos I take one photo that I've had a lot of questions about is this one here and this is just a photo I took on the iPhone 10 of a mural outside at Chipotle while we were filming the iPhone 10 review I just edited it myself formatted correctly and makes a great wallpaper this isn't exactly the easiest option but it's definitely the most unique now before we finish up customizing the wallpaper is cool and all but it's also cool to customize with AD burned skin I've been using their new camo skin on my iPhone and my MacBook really loving it if you don't pick one up for yourself links are down below now obviously there are many more places to find wallpapers but these are the ones that I found that are the most reliable and the ones that I can just go to and set very quickly and I know I'm gonna find something that looks great and now finally now all of you that have asked where we get our wallpapers know so you don't have to ask anymore you can just go to these apps and find cool ones for yourself I would like you all so much for watching I hope you enjoyed be sure to subscribe and hit
