How To Change LockScreen Wallpaper On Android TV

When using an Android TV, it comes with a beautiful selection of suggested wallpapers that are handpicked by Google for the lock screen. However, the default lock screen wallpapers lack basic customization features, and we cannot select our preferred wallpapers on Android TV. While there are some paid or partially customizable apps available, I have discovered a free solution. The Photo Gallery app on Android TV provides extensive customization options, allowing you to set up preferred photos as a lock screen or directly import photos from your Google Drive.

In this complete guide, I’ll show you how to set up this app on any Android TV, so you can customize your lock screen wallpapers to your liking, entirely free of cost.”
