Why Is Lock Screen Magazine Not Changing on My OPPO Phone
Lock Screen Magazine provides periodically changing lock screen wallpapers and curated content. If this feature stops updating or wallpapers no longer change automatically, the issue is usually related to theme settings, permissions, or app version compatibility. This guide explains the common causes and how to troubleshoot them.
Common Reasons Why Lock Screen Magazine Does Not Change
If your lock screen wallpaper remains the same even after enabling Lock Screen Magazine, consider the following possible causes:
A Non-Default Theme Is Active
Applying custom themes from the Theme Store or third-party sources may override Lock Screen Magazine.
What to do:
Open the Theme Store and apply a default OPPO theme.
Lock Screen Magazine works best with official system themes.
A Third-Party Wallpaper or Theme App Is Interfering
Apps that modify wallpapers or lock screen styles (e.g., launchers, wallpaper tools, theme apps) may block Lock Screen Magazine from updating.
What to do:
Uninstall or disable any third-party theme or wallpaper apps.
Re-enable Lock Screen Magazine afterward.
Subscription & Feature Version Requirements
Certain features depend on the version of the Lock Screen Magazine application:
Subscriptions require Lock Screen Magazine v8.5.0 or above.
Carousel wallpapers require Lock Screen Magazine v8.6.0 or above.
If your system uses an older version, these options may not work as expected.
How to Access Lock Screen Magazine Settings
To configure or enable the feature:

[Settings] > [Home Screen & Lock Screen] > [Lock Screen Magazine]
