The app is available for both Android and iOS operating systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is Zedge a safe or harmful app? Based on user experience to date, the Zedge app is safe to use &amp; free from malware. In 2019, however, Google Play Protect recommended deleting it due to potential malware. This led Zedge developers to take it down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then though, the app is back in the play store and considered safe to use.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"simpletoc-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#is-zedge-a-harmful-app\">Is Zedge a harmful app?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#what-is-the-zedge-app-used-for\">What is the Zedge app used for?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-do-i-block-ads-on-zedge\">How do I block ads on Zedge?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#why-does-zedge-need-access-to-my-photos\">Why does Zedge need access to my photos?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"#why-is-zedge-charging-me\">Why is Zedge charging me?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"#how-do-i-get-rid-of-zedge-as-default\">How do I get rid of Zedge as default?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"#are-free-ringtones-safe\">Are free ringtones safe?<\/a>\n\n\n<\/li><li><a href=\"#where-is-zedge-based\">Where is zedge based?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#what-are-some-safe-zedge-alternatives\">What are some safe Zedge alternatives?<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-do-i-put-zedge-ringtones-on-my-phone\">How do I put Zedge ringtones on my phone?<\/a>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-zedge-a-harmful-app\">Is Zedge a harmful app?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Zedge has over 460 million downloads on the Play Store and App Store combined. There are currently 30+ million active users of Zedge. It has been a popular wallpaper and ringtones app for a long time with few issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in 2019, Google Play Protect displayed a Zedge harmful notification that installing this application might harm their device. As a result, the developers of Zedge removed the app from the store for a while and scanned for malware and bugs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google did not explain why this happened, but it is suspected that the issue was due to the updated Google security filters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zedge has been made available again for users to download on the Play Store, indicating it&rsquo;s safe to use. The app seems to be performing fine based on user feedback.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-the-zedge-app-used-for\">What is the Zedge app used for?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Zedge is used for downloading high-quality wallpapers for both home screen and lock screen with different categories like nature, aesthetics, art, cosmos, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also download live wallpapers and alluring ringtones from Zedge to enhance your smartphone experience and customize it according to your taste.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also change the look and feel of your phone with unique app icons and attractive widgets. Many creators on Zedge publish their artwork and allow users to download them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also follow the creators on Zedge and get updates whenever they upload something new.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-i-block-ads-on-zedge\">How do I block ads on Zedge?<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-block-ads-by-using-adblocker\">1. Block ads by using Ad-Blocker<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>One way to block ads on Zedge is to use adblocker apps like AdGuard or <a href=\"https:\/\/blokada.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blokada<\/a>. You can get rid of all the banner and videos ads after downloading an ad blocker, while also seeing ad statistics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The browser version of AdGuard is free, but blocking ads inside apps requires a paid version of <a href=\"https:\/\/adguard.com\/en\/license.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AdGuard<\/a>.&nbsp;The full version of AdGuard is not available on Play Store, but you can download it from AdGuard&rsquo;s official website.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-use-splitscreen-view\">2. Use split-screen view<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If you do not want to pay for an ad blocker app, you can try using your Zedge application in split-screen mode. When you do that, ads may not appear, like they do in full-screen mode.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to use split-screen mode on your Android, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open the recent apps tab by tapping the left navigation button at the bottom of your screen (generally three vertical lines)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now tap and hold the Zedge icon &gt; select &ldquo;open in split-screen view&rdquo;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_625872e3a4515.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3Crect%20width='300'%20height='300'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" loading=\"eager\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_625872e3a4515.jpg.webp\" class=\"eager-load\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_625872e3df059.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_625872e3df059.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_625872e4272e5.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_625872e4272e5.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_625872e463bae.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/img_625872e463bae.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-get-zedges-adfree-subscription\">3.

Downloading free ringtones from the internet is also legal unless you are downloading from a site that offers copyrighted material like premium tunes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some ringtone websites and apps from anonymous sources may contain malware or viruses. There is no definite way of telling which app or site would contain malware, but most likely, these sources will be anonymous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognized ringtones apps such as Zedge, on the other hand, are mostly safe to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that you can also make your own ringtones using safe iOS apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/ringtone-maker\/id1537772169\" rel=\"noopener\">Ringtones: Ringtone Maker<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/in\/app\/ringtones-maker-the-ring-app\/id1358107315\" rel=\"noopener\">Ringtones Maker &ndash; the ring app<\/a>, and others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also utilize <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/kb\/dl1977?locale=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mac iTunes<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/garageband\/id682658836?ls=1&amp;mt=12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GarageBand<\/a> to make ringtones for free.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"are-wallpaper-apps-safe\">Are wallpaper apps safe?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>While most wallpaper apps are safe to use, some wallpaper apps can be harmful to your device. If you have downloaded a wallpaper app from an anonymous source on the internet, it may contain malicious code.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These apps may be able to harm your device by asking for permission to access your contacts &ndash; which should not be relevant to the app&rsquo;s primary operation\/purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are also plenty of credible sources available from where you can download wallpapers for your home and lock screen.
