How to add custom wallpaper in Smartwatch
Step 1: Turn on Bluetooth
Open your smartwatch and go to Settings. Find the Bluetooth option and turn it on.
Step 2: Scan the QR code
Your smartwatch should have a QR code somewhere in the settings menu. Open it, then use a QR code scanner app on your phone to scan it.
Step 3: Download the companion app
Scanning the code will point you to the right app for your watch brand. This works for popular models like the T800 Ultra, Noise smartwatch, HiWatch Pro, HK8 Pro Max Ultra, FitPro, DT8 Ultra, T900 Ultra, and W68 Ultra+, among others. Download and install the app on your phone.
Step 4: Log in and connect your watch
Open the app and log in with a Gmail account. Then check that your watch is properly connected to the app.
Step 5: Find the Watch Face settings
Inside the app, look for a menu called Watch Face, Dial, Face Gallery, or Device — the exact name depends on the brand. Inside that menu, look for something like Custom Photo, Photo Watch Face, or Album. That’s where you can set your own picture as the watch face.
