content:Tired of Boring Charging Screens? Try This Trick
Do you look at the same default charging indicator every time you plug in your phone? Want to add a personal touch—like your girlfriend’s photo or a favorite memory—to make it unique? The video we analyzed shares a fun, easy trick to do just that using a free app.
After watching the video, I’ve broken down the steps clearly so you can replicate this trick without any confusion. Let’s dive in to turn your charging screen into something special.
content:What Is the Custom Charging Screen Trick?
This trick lets you replace your phone’s default charging screen with any photo you want. The video recommends an app called Battery Photo Indicator (look for similar names in your app store) that overlays your chosen photo on the charging screen. As your battery charges, the photo may fill up or change to reflect the battery level—making it both functional and personal.
The app is free to use, though it may show ads (we’ll cover how to handle those later). It works on most Android smartphones, so you don’t need a high-end device to try it.

1. Download the App
First, go to your phone’s app store and search for Battery Photo Indicator. Download and install the app. Note: The app may ask for permissions (like access to your gallery or display over other apps)—grant these to ensure it works correctly.
2. Select Your Photo
Open the app and tap the “Create Image” or similar option. Choose a photo from your gallery—this could be a picture of your loved one, a pet, a travel snap, or any image you love.
3. Adjust the Photo Settings
Use the app’s tools to resize or reposition the photo so it fits your screen perfectly. The video mentions that some versions of the app let you customize how the battery level is displayed (e.g., the photo fills up as the battery charges).
4. Apply and Test
Tap the “Apply” or “Set” button. Then, plug your phone into a charger. You should see your custom photo appear full-screen while charging—enjoy your new unique charging screen!

Ensure Permissions Are Enabled
One common pitfall is forgetting to grant the app necessary permissions. If the photo doesn’t show up, go to your phone’s settings and check if the app has access to your gallery and display over other apps.
Handle Ads Effectively
The app may show ads, but you can skip them quickly (as shown in the video). For an ad-free experience, look for a premium version of the app if available.
Check Compatibility
While the app works on most Android phones, some older models may not support it. If it doesn’t work, try a similar app from the store (like “Charging Screen Wallpaper”).
