About Wallpaper Engine
Wallpaper Engine on Android is a companion app for live and dynamic wallpapers on Android phones and tablets. It supports Android 10 and newer. Wallpapers are linked to the desktop Wallpaper Engine product; the Android app cannot download new wallpapers directly from the Workshop, so a user transfers their wallpaper collection wirelessly from Wallpaper Engine on a computer.
The app includes settings for wallpaper quality and an FPS limit, and it can pause when power saving mode is enabled. Live wallpaper support on the lock screen depends on the device; some Android manufacturers do not allow live wallpapers on the lock screen.
