What phone are you using? On Samsung you just open the picture in the native Gallery app, tap the three dots menu in the corner and choose Set Wallpaper.
If you're not using Samsung then I would expect that brands picture browser to have a similar feature.
google pixel six.
I can get into the wallpaper option, but whatever picture I choose even if it's a screenshot of my exact screen, is blown up to about 3x proportion and i cannot make it smaller from within the wallpaper app, I have to artificially blow up the canvas size in an image editor and then try to use it in the stock wallpaper app
Your original way still works for me on the pixel 8. I have to tap the picture to make the floating menus go away but then I can still screenshot it.
Okay, sounds like another pixel bug then, i won't go crazy trying to solve it.
my phone had a bunch of those.
like, does the now playing feature work for you?
mine basically never works, and then every other week in the supermarket it'll be like " hey did you know that this song is..." one time and then go back into hibernation.
I hope that's all it is. I can upload one of mine to my computer in about half an hour and see what the aspect ratio is. Give you the proper dimensions. But I don't know how valuable that will be since it's kind of a hassle and you're looking for an on phone solution.
My screenshots are all the native Pixel 6 res, 1080x2400, but the res dont matter i guess, my wallpapers app only wants things a thousand pixels wider than native res and wont take no for an answer.
