If you also actively change your background or are always looking for backgrounds that match your mood, you have probably heard of the Panels app. But if you haven’t already, it’s a wallpaper app published by YouTuber MKBHD, who recently announced plans to shut down the app and refund paying users.
So when the news broke earlier this week, we decided to ask you if you use a special app to find wallpapers. And this is what you said.
Do you still use dedicated wallpaper apps on Android?
Nearly 1,700 of our readers responded, and an overwhelming majority, nearly 42%, say they search for good wallpapers online rather than relying on a single app. Nearly half of them (i.e. 21.5%) use stock photos, while a similar number of people (22%) say they use photos they clicked themselves as their phone wallpaper.
At the same time, I have to admit that I’m generally not the type to pay for wallpaper apps, nor have I used Panels – unlike the paltry 5.5% of our readers who did.
Since almost two-thirds of you are looking for good wallpapers online or prefer images taken with phone cameras, we’re also sharing hand-picked wallpaper recommendations every week as part of our weekly Wallpaper Wednesday series. In addition to downloading and using wallpapers from the Android Authority team, you can also submit any images that you or your friends and family have clicked so that the rest of our readers can enjoy them too.
