How to Set a Solid Color or Black Background

If you prefer a plain background:

• Some phones have built-in solid color options under wallpaper settings.
• If your phone doesn’t offer this, take a black photo (cover the camera and snap a dark image) and set it as your wallpaper.
• A dark background saves battery on OLED/AMOLED screens, especially in dark mode.

Final Tips
