How to make an AI Wallpaper on Android
In This Article
Generative AI has been the buzzword of 2023 so far, with the tech on show in various apps and services. Google has even built the feature into Android 14, allowing users to generate unique wallpapers by typing in a number of prompts.

Here’s how to get it started in a few simple steps.
