2. Other Android 14+ phones

When downloading, you may see a message stating File might be harmful and click Download anyway to save the APK file on your phone.

After downloading the APK file, the system will ask if you want to install the application or not. Click Install to continue. If you haven't done this before, you may also need to change your phone settings to install apps from unknown sources.

After a while, the application will be installed on the device. From Device Settings, grant the app any and all permissions necessary to set the wallpaper on the device. Now you can use it to create and change AI wallpapers, just like you do on supported Pixel devices.

Click Generate after you complete your text prompt.

The final image will be ready. You can click Regenerate to get an alternate version of the image. Or click Download to save the photo to your phone. On the free version, you can only download images in HD version. Then, select the Set as wallpaper option on your phone to get an AI-generated wallpaper.

Gencraft is a freemium software. With this tool, you can turn any imaginative idea into reality. Remember that you are limited to 5 AI creations per day and there is a daily refresh timer that resets every 24 hours.
