What’s new in v. 2.2.1

————————————————————
NEW UI: MAXIMUM FLUIDITY!
SMART LIQUID GLASS or COLOR TINT
————————————————————

The app has finally achieved the level of scrolling fluidity it should have always had: we’ve introduced Smart Liquid Glass, an effect defined in the iOS 26 guidelines that allows us to use Liquid Glass in many UI elements that make up a single screen when it’s “still,” but temporarily switches to a matte effect during scrolling—then returns to full Liquid Glass when you stop. This is the best solution that finally lets us deliver excellent performance while scrolling through the Home.

A new switch has been added in Settings that lets you choose between Smart Liquid Glass and Color Tint.

Just like iOS 26 does with system icons, you can now choose between the Glass Effect and fully colored wallpaper cards: they’re reminiscent of the first version of our app and, in both cases, maximum fluidity is guaranteed!

——————————————
LAUNCH ANIMATION
——————————————

The previous static launch image has been replaced with a dynamic screen featuring a smooth animation.

————————————
SERVER SYNC
————————————

Syncing from the old server (iCloud) to the new, faster and more powerful server has been further improved. This migration is designed to prevent issues with Coins that could disappear from user accounts when iCloud was disabled, full, or simply slower due to asynchronous behavior. Now coins can no longer disappear, and your Username, Profile Picture, missions, daily rewards, opened chests, and more are also synced.

What’s new in v. 2.1.2

• Fixed issues with Coins that could disappear in certain situations and then reappear later. This was caused by iCloud’s asynchronous behavior, which doesn’t always connect quickly and sometimes failed to recognize the user in time.
• When launching the app, your data will now be migrated to a better and faster server! This will solve all synchronization problems: Coins will no longer disappear, and Missions, Daily Login Rewards, and more will be properly synced. This update required a lot of work because we basically had to rewrite the entire application, but it should now be more stable than ever. We recommend users stay logged in (and personalize their profile name and picture).
• Improved the layout of the “Consecutive Logins” section in Rewards: not only does it look better visually, but it also fixes an issue that caused the page to display incorrectly on some iPhone models, where it would extend beyond the screen margins.
• Added a “Languages” section in Settings to change the app language.
• Improved the behavior of the Dark Mode toggle.
• Fixed an issue with China, where Firebase is blocked: the app now works smoothly there too.
• Added a new animation for the chest opening with a key in the Rewards section.
• Created an internal notification system linked to converting Coins into Gems and Gems into Keys.
• Added a new sound and replaced the existing ones (played when earning or converting Coins).
• Added the display of your UID in the Settings screen — only visible to logged-in users. This code is essential if you need support.
• Restored proper deep link functionality: links from the web can now directly open the Wallpapers Central app on a specific wallpaper, making downloads faster.

We’re working on two major new features and can’t wait for you to try them!

What’s new in v. 2.1.1

• Fixed a bug where coins were deducted before the download was fully completed. If the download failed for any reason, the coins were already removed. Now the download happens first, and if the operation is successful, then the coins are deducted.
• Added a new alert to handle cases where users haven’t granted permission to save images to the photo library (which is required to download wallpapers). A new “Open Settings” button has been implemented to quickly enable Photo permissions.
• Fixed a pagination issue in the “Depth” section.

Introducing Wallpapers Central 2.0!

Your favorite app for Wallpapers is now completely new — and for the very first time, it also offers Ringtones!

Version 2.0 is not just an update: the app has been rebuilt entirely from scratch, redesigned multiple times to perfectly match iOS 26 with full support for the new Liquid Glass design. Along with a fresh, modern interface, you’ll find a huge number of brand-new features.

The Home screen has become a special hub, with a horizontal menu that lets you easily navigate between different sections:

• For You: wallpapers recommended by the app based on your personal tastes.
• Creators: a showcase of our verified creators — talented artists we’ve invited to collaborate with us so you always get unique and beautiful wallpapers. You can now follow creators, just like on social networks.
• Upload: the classic feature that allows users to upload new wallpapers directly to the platform.
• Favorites: now synced with iCloud and accessible from any device.
• Collections: curated wallpaper bundles grouped by theme or style.
• Rewards: a fun, game-like system that gives out daily Coins, Gems, and Keys. This makes the experience more engaging, but most importantly, it allows even free users to unlock and download all of our content at no cost.

At the bottom, dedicated tabs give you instant access to our most popular sections: Depth Effect Wallpapers, which interact with the Lock Screen clock, and the brand-new Ringtones!

For users upgrading to iOS 26, we’ve made downloading and setting up new ringtones easier than ever. Simply open the Ringtones section, listen to a preview, and hit Download. That’s it! The share sheet will pop up immediately, where you’ll find the “Use as Ringtone” option.

We’ve also developed brand-new APIs to power an enhanced Search Engine, quick access to wallpapers by category, an all-time Top 10, and real-time Trending rankings — available not just for wallpapers, but also for ringtones.

Other highlights include:

• True OLED Dark Mode, with a pure #000000 background for energy savings.
• Push Notifications (finally working!) to alert you whenever a new wallpaper, ringtone, or collection is released.
• Custom App Icons — choose from dozens of alternatives, each one beautifully designed.
• Multi-device downloads — you can now download wallpapers not only for iPhone, but also for iPad and Desktop.

Every user now has a personal profile, customizable with a name, avatar, and a private area to manage uploads, favorites, and followed creators.

Free for everyone — forever

All content on Wallpapers Central is free for all users.

The new app is supported by ads, which can be removed with a Wallpapers Central PRO subscription. But once again, we’ve made sure free users can unlock everything thanks to the Coin system — redesigned to be more fun, rewarding, and game-like than ever.

Some downloads are immediate, while others require a certain number of Coins. But earning Coins is simple:

• Watch an ad to instantly get 3 Coins (repeat as many times as you like).
• Log in daily to claim free Coins, with special bonuses at 7, 15, and 30 days.
• Complete Missions such as adding your first favorite wallpaper or following a verified creator, and you’ll receive Coins, Gems, or Keys as a reward.

Gems and Keys unlock even more powerful features, usually reserved for PRO users, but still available for free if you engage with the app. A built-in converter even lets you turn Coins into Gems whenever you like.

Of course, subscribing to PRO helps support our work in a significant way. PRO users immediately gain unlimited access to every feature, with no ads, no waits, and additional perks like exclusive app icons — plus future extras we’ll keep adding over time.

A new chapter for Wallpapers Central

This is just the beginning. With Wallpapers Central 2.0, we’re committed to bringing you fresh, high-quality content every single day, staying true to the vision that has already made the app popular worldwide — surpassing 1.2 million downloads since its original launch in 2022.

Don’t miss the new Instagram Stories sharing feature — it’s absolutely brilliant!

We hope you’ll enjoy all the work we’ve put into this major release, and as always, thank you for your continued support!
