How to set real time weather on your Galaxy S24 wallpaper
The real time weather wallpaper feature on the Galaxy S24 adds 3D animated weather effects to still-life photos used as lock screens. The weather effects mirror your local weather, so if it is raining outside, an animation of rainfall will be applied to the lock screen image.
Photos stored in the Gallery app can be set as wallpaper with weather effects.
