### 4/5 — Please read

*2025-09-15, version 3.0*

I know it’s fun to make your own wallpaper but what if you don’t you have lots of different choices and things like that you can make your own dog wallpaper and choose stickers to but on it but you have to watch and add which I didn’t but it worked? Anyway all you have to do is go to the wallpaper in your settings and done you have your wallpaper but if your name is Sophie or Russel or something they have your name but they don’t have me or my brothers name so that’s why I wrote this review anyway could you add Carlee to the list please? Oh also I really want people to see this add get back to by next Monday bye
