@Meaghan, it persists:

As in [`discussions/1750`](https://github.com/MM2-0/Kvaesitso/discussions/1750#d…iscussion-9319092): > Currently, I mimic it with [`github.com/cvzi/darkmodewallpaper` (although see `issues/251`)](https://github.com/cvzi/darkmodewallpaper/issues/251#issue-3200348429). However, that's even more resource-intensive than rendering a static image, whereas I want neither! > > Like how [`VaibhavLakhera/minimo-launcher/issues/54#issuecomment-3407341935`](https://github.com/VaibhavLakhera/minimo-launcher/issues/54#issuecomment-3407341935) demonstrates is available elsewhere, can the wallpaper be disabled? [`issues/1751`](https://github.com/MM2-0/Kvaesitso/issues/1751#issue-3790056741) would supersede this *for me*, whereas this would be useful for those who want to retain a home screen, but: - do not want to expend resources by rendering one, or: - are utilising an OEM's AOSP distribution that breaks wallpaper persistence.

I confirmed with com.ss.android.ugc.aweme.livewallpaper.ui.LocalLiveWallPaperActivity, which was unset ⋛ PT3M after application.
