Is There a Fix for the Samsung Wallpaper Resetting Every Morning?
If your Samsung Galaxy phone’s wallpaper changes back to the default background, you are not the only one. Many users have reported this problem, especially after the recent One UI 8 update. The issue mainly affects dynamic wallpapers that are designed to change colors throughout the day.
The wallpaper often resets for no apparent reason. Some people have noticed it happens at a specific time, usually early in the morning between 4 AM and 6 AM. For some, the wallpaper app crashes at the same time each day, which resets both the home screen and the lock screen backgrounds. You then have to set your custom wallpaper again manually.
This bug is not limited to a single phone model. It has been reported on a variety of Samsung devices.
- Galaxy S25 Series
- Galaxy S24 Series
- Galaxy S23 Series
- Galaxy A55
- Galaxy A26
The problem appears to have started after the official One UI 8 software was released, as beta testers did not report it. Users have confirmed that personal routines or third-party apps are not causing the wallpaper to reset. Samsung has not provided an official statement yet, but the issue may be linked to how the system handles the background processes required for dynamic wallpapers to function.
For now, you can switch to a static wallpaper that does not move or change colors, as this seems to solve the problem temporarily. You can also help by reporting the bug directly to Samsung through the Samsung Members application on your phone. This makes the company more aware of how many users are affected and can help speed up a fix.
