How do I draw on a friend’s lock screen?
Install Vandal, add your friend with a link or by username, draw on their wallpaper and tap Send. The drawing becomes the wallpaper on their lock screen.

FAQ
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes. On iPhone, the wallpaper is set by Apple’s Shortcuts app, which you connect once. On iOS 27 the wallpaper then changes by itself.
And on Android?
Yes, with nothing to set up: the app changes the wallpaper itself as soon as a drawing arrives.
Is it for couples too?
Yes. Vandal works as a shared wallpaper for two: you and your partner draw on each other’s lock screens, even from far away.
Is it a widget?
No. Vandal changes the lock screen wallpaper itself, so the drawing fills the whole screen instead of sitting in a small widget.
Is it free?
Drawing for friends and getting drawings is free. A Plus subscription adds special brushes, photos, the shield and pinning.
