Try dynamic weather animations with Galaxy AI

Note: We hope you find Labs features useful, but they are experimental and may not work as expected. Some features may not work correctly with all apps.

Photo ambient wallpaper is an experimental feature that uses the power of Galaxy AI on the Galaxy S24 to change your wallpaper based on the current time and weather conditions at the default locations in the Weather app. It works best with photos that are taken outdoors during the day.

  1. Open Settings, and then tap Advanced features.

  2. Tap Labs, and then tap Photo ambient wallpaper.

  3. Tap the switch at the top of the screen to turn on the feature.

Now that you've enabled the feature, you have a new option when setting your lock screen wallpaper in the Creative section. Tap on Photo ambient, and choose a picture!
