The real-time weather wallpaper feature on the Galaxy S24 adds 3D animated weather effects to still photos used as lock screens. The weather effects mirror the user’s local weather, so if it is raining outside, an animation of rainfall will be applied to the lock screen image.
Photos stored in the Gallery app can be set as wallpaper with weather effects.
Note: Location services must be enabled in Settings > Location for this feature to work.
