“I put Jesus on my background pic and now my phone never dies. Yup, he’s my screen-savior”

A “screensaver” should not be confused with a “screen savior,” but there are jokes. The “screen savior” pun has been printed on many images.

Wikipedia: Screensaver     
A screensaver (or screen saver) is a computer program that blanks the display screen or fills it with moving images or patterns when the computer has been idle for a designated time. The original purpose of screensavers was to prevent phosphor burn-in on CRT or plasma computer monitors (hence the name). Though most modern monitors are not susceptible to this issue (with the notable exception of OLED technology, which has individual pixels vulnerable to burnout), screensaver programs are still used for other purposes.
