At Google's headquarters,Ireland there must be a room full of people trying to figure out which aspect of the Android phone the company still doesn't have its paws on. Right now, on my phone I have the following Google apps installed: Google, Gmail, Maps, YouTube, Drive, Play, Play Music, Play Movies & TV, Hangouts, Photos, Google+, Play Newsstand, Play Games, Docs, Authenticator, Google Now Launcher, Google Cast, Calendar, Keep, Slides, Earth, Cardboard Camera, Arts & Culture, Allo, Goggles and Translate, and there are plenty more available on Google Play.
Add another app to that list: Wallpapers. First launched on the company's new Pixel and PIxel XL phones, the app has recently become available to everyone, as noticed by Android Central.

It offers a variety of wallpapers, which you can set as a one-time thing, or turn on the Daily wallpaper feature, which gives your phone a new wallpaper every day.
The images come from Google Earth, Google+ and 500px, and you can choose from five topics: Earth, Landscape, Cityscapes, Life and Textures. The app also taps into your camera photos and images from the designated wallpapers folder on your phone.
Unfortunately, only Android 7.0+ users get the option to set a different image for the phone's home and lock screens. If you have an earlier version of Android, the app will only be able to set a wallpaper for your home screen.
While finding wallpapers for your phone is not a very difficult task, and most phones these days have themes and their own, built-in ways to set periodically changing wallpapers, there's something to be said about getting a new, beautiful satellite image of Earth as your phone's background every 24 hours.
You can download the Google Wallpapers app from Google Play, here.
