Windows Phone 8: Set a Background for the Photo App

If you use the Photos app in Windows Phone 8 to manage your pictures, you may notice that the app uses your existing pictures as the background to make the interface a bit more personal. Backgrounds usually come from the favorites list or the built-in collection. While this feature is useful, it can circle through pictures that you do not want to show as a background image. Fortunately, you can set a specific picture as your background.

1. Launch the Photos app from the pinned tile or the app list.
