How to Get a Facebook Picture on My Android Background

Personalize your smart phone with a picture of you and your friends.

Smart phones like the iPhone and Android allow for tons of personalization. You can choose your own wallpapers and even decide what icons you want on your home screen. If your friends just tagged you in a photo on Facebook you can even use that picture as your wallpaper. Log onto Facebook on your Android phone to get started.

Instructions

1. Touch the application icon on your home screen and scroll down to the Facebook application.

2. Open Facebook and find the photo you want to use as your wallpaper. If it is one of your pictures tap "Profile" and then "Photos."

3. Tap the photo to view it larger.

4. Tap the "Set As" icon in the top left corner.

5. Touch "Wallpaper" to set the photo as your wallpaper. An orange box will appear to choose a section of the photo. Move and resize the box to your liking.

6. Tap "save" and return to the homepage to see your new wallpaper.
