How To Use MIUI Live Wallpapers

If you’re looking for a unique and visually appealing experience for your mobile device, you should try MIUI Live Wallpaper. Typically, backgrounds are minimalistic and static. But these animated wallpapers add a touch of dynamism.

Fortunately, live wallpapers aren’t just reserved for Xiaomi’s flagship phones equipped with the last snap-dragon chip. Android users can apply the animations too. Read on to learn how to download and install these beautiful backgrounds for your Xiaomi, iPhone, and Android devices.

The Good and the Bad

There are a lot of reasons why people might want live wallpaper. The animations are beautiful and there are many options available. Some are interactive pictures you can change by specifying the effects’ duration, speed, movement, and intensity. It offers something different and fun, and may even produce a calming effect. With live wallpapers, you change the look and feel of your mobile device, and it’s easy to use.

But as with most things, there are drawbacks. Live wallpapers wreak havoc on your battery and use considerable RAM and memory. Performance slowdowns might be typical, especially on low or mid-range phones. It’s also possible that you’ll experience freezes, and might be distracted. Weigh up your options before making a decision.

How to Download MIUI Wallpapers for Android and Xiaomi Users

If you’re wondering where you can get MIUI wallpapers, you won’t find it on third-party applications like Google Play. Instead, there are packs that Xiaomi releases, or you can download single files and install them. Here are a few you might want to try if you’re on the lookout.

MIUI Live Wallpapers Packs

The first option is to download a wallpaper pack. Xiaomi releases packs that you can install based on specific themes. The MIUI 12 Super Live Wallpapers were released based on a space theme (featuring Earth, Mars, and Saturn). MIUI 13 pack was based on a flower theme, and MIUI 14 includes seven live wallpapers based on a “light cycles” theme. The advantage of using archives like this is that there’s something for everyone, and you don’t have to search for the wallpaper.

Alternatively, if you don’t want all the files, let’s say you just like the Earth Live Wallpaper, you can download the pack as an APK file. If you’re wondering what the term APK means, it refers to Android Package Kit. It’s a file format that Android needs to install apps, similar to ZIP or RAR.

Once installed, you can set it as a wallpaper through either the settings on your smartphone (just as you would a classic live wallpaper), or go through Google Wallpapers.

How to Install MIUI Wallpapers on Android

If you want to install live wallpapers on an Android phone, don’t worry. You can do it in no time by following these steps.

1. Download the wallpaper that you want to install.
2. Once that is finished, you must go to the file manager on your phone. You can find that in the download folder. Click on the file name you choose (for instance, “Super Live Wallpapers MIUI 12”) and extract the folder.
   
3. In this case, four animated wallpapers will appear as an APK file. Install the APK files.
   
4. Go to the Wallpaper app that you downloaded in the first step. Scroll down until the “Live Wallpaper” option appears. You’ll see the four types of live wallpapers you installed.
   
5. Choose the one you like and click “Apply Changes.”
   

Remember you can’t always choose your phone’s “set wallpaper function” as it doesn’t always work. If you’re experiencing this problem, download the Wallpaper app to the Google Play store. You’ll need this app to set your selection after you’ve installed the file.

Switch Between Wallpapers and Set Light Function

You can also switch between the versions that you have. To do so, launch the Google Wallpapers app. You’ll see “live Wallpapers,” with the files you downloaded underneath it. Click on the file you want to change it to and select “apply changes.” It’s that simple.

You can also change the brightness of the wallpaper. Older versions allowed users to switch between “bright” and “dark.” But due to the single APK release, those options aren’t available any longer. If you want to adjust the brightness of the wallpaper, you’ll have to set up light or dark mode through the settings on your phone.

How to Install Live Wallpapers on Xiaomi

For users with a Xiaomi phone, you can install the Live Wallpaper by following these steps:

1. Go the “Setting” and choose the “Wallpaper” option at the bottom.
   
2. Go to the bottom right-hand corner of the screen and tap on the “Profile” icon.
   
3. Select “Wallpapers.”
   
4. Choose the “Live Wallpapers” option.
   
5. Browse and choose the one that you want to apply from the options that you have.
   
6. Tap the “Apply” button.
   

That’s it! You’re all set to enjoy the stunning visual effects of your chosen wallpaper.

How to Install MIUI Live Wallpapers on iPhone

There’s also a way to get MIUI Live Wallpaper on your iPhone.

1. Try downloading the Live Photos into your Google Drive by following this link.
   
2. Once you have downloaded the files, you’ll need to convert it into an mp4 file. This type of file is a
   digital multimedia format that’s used mainly to store video and audio data. You can’t use the APK pack for your iPhone because APK file extensions are exclusively for Android mobile phones. iPhones, however, support mp4 files. Hence, you have to convert it to an mp4 or the files won’t install.
3. Some indicate that APK to MP4 conversion isn’t possible because APK files do not contain multimedia or document data. However, it seems that people have had success in the past using MConverter. You’ll need to upload the file and convert it using the MConverter app.
   
4. If all is successful, the next step is to apply the Live Wallpaper.
5. Do this by going to the “Wallpaper” setting.
   
6. Find the wallpaper you want to use.
   
7. Under the menu you’ll see “Use as Wallpaper.”
   

Going through these steps should help you install the MIUI theme wallpapers on your iPhone.

FAQS

Why do I see a black screen?

Your operating system might be overloaded. You’ll need to clean the cache and reboot the device.
