How to Use the Samsung Themes App to Customize Your Galaxy Phone

Samsung Galaxy Themes customization illustration

Samsung Themes can change wallpaper, icons, lock screen styling, fonts, and other visual pieces in one package. You can also mix individual icon packs, wallpapers, and fonts instead of applying a full theme.

These steps apply to Samsung Galaxy phones running One UI with the built-in Themes store.

Does This Affect You?

Use this if you want your Galaxy phone to look different without changing each design setting manually.

Apply a Ready-Made Theme

  1. Open the Themes app, or long-press the Home Screen and tap Themes.
  2. Browse the Themes tab.
  3. Open a theme to see whether it is free or paid.
  4. Tap Download.
  5. Tap Apply when the download finishes.

To return to the default look, open Themes > My Stuff > Themes, choose Default or Basic, and apply it.

Mix Icons, Wallpapers, and Fonts

  1. Open Themes.
  2. Use the Icons tab for icon packs or Wallpapers for backgrounds.
  3. Download and apply the piece you want.
  4. Use Fonts in Themes or Settings > Display > Font size and style to change the system font.
  5. Repeat with other categories until the phone looks how you want.

Theme Notes

Theme Park Is Mostly for Creation

Samsung Theme Park is a design tool used to create or customize themes. Most people only need the Themes store unless they want to build their own look.

Restart if Icons Look Wrong

If only a few icons fail to update, restart the phone. The Home Screen icon cache often refreshes on boot.

Reset Pieces Separately

If you mixed several categories, reset each one under My Stuff: Themes, Icons, Wallpapers, and Fonts. There may not be one universal reset button.

Themes Do Not Keep Running

Themes change visual assets and colors. Once applied, they do not run as a background process or drain battery by themselves.
