Wallpaper Configuration on Fully Managed Android Devices

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to configure Android devices (specifically Samsung A7) as fully managed with a custom wallpaper for both the home and lock screens, using a launcher app.

 

I've set up a configuration policy under Device Restrictions > Device Experiences, with the experience type set to Microsoft Launcher (fully managed). I included the wallpaper URL, sized correctly to the device’s pixel resolution. However, the image appears zoomed in on the home screen and lock screen.

Interestingly, when I tested the same setup in Kiosk mode, the image displays correctly on the home screen, but it doesn’t apply to the lock screen. In contrast, the Microsoft Launcher (fully managed) setup does apply the wallpaper to both screens, but the image is zoomed in on the home screen.

Does anyone have suggestions for fixing this issue? I'd consider using Kiosk mode if it allowed setting the lock screen image as well, but it only sets the home screen. Additionally, I’m unable to get the camera app to appear in Kiosk mode.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

    @Aran Billen,Thanks for posting in Q&A.

    From your description, I know you have configured correct wallpaper's size and URLs but got some error.

    For the custom wallpaper does not appear correctly, you can try to delete it and re-create it to see if the issue can be fixed.

    For Kiosk mode custom lock screen wallpaper, you can enable screen saver and configure it to see if this setting can meet your requirement.

    For enabling camera app in Kiosk mode, here is a link you can refer.
