You could even turn an old phone into a digital photo frame permanently if you like.

Android is the place to do this one, and here’s how.

How to turn your phone into a digital photo frame

There are lots of different Android devices about, so settings and instructions may vary slightly.

On a Google Pixel 6, we started by going to the Settings.

Then find Display, followed by Screen Saver.

Tap Current screen saver – which is probably set to the clock at the moment.

Change it to Photos.

It’ll take you back to the previous screen.

Next, tap the cog icon.

Here you’ll find a series of preferences, such as whether you want an animated zoom effect.

You can even select which albums you want the feature to use, so you can create a dedicated folder and avoid any embarrassing shots from coming up.
