I also love the ability to preview how icons and text will look on the wallpaper prior to download – how convenient! – Kayhlen

And then there is Pinterest. Pinterest will lead you down a rabbit hole in just a few clicks. Don’t be surprised if after two hours you still haven’t downloaded an iPhone wallpaper. The reason is you went down that rabbit hole and now you are reading something totally unrelated like how to DIY a leftover car tyre into the perfect ottoman. 🙂
How To Change The Wallpaper On An iPhone
- Go to Settings > Wallpaper > Choose a New Wallpaper.
- Do one of the following:
- Choose a preset image from a group at the top of the screen (Dynamic, Stills, and so on).
- Select one of your own photos (tap an album, then tap the photo) or choose a downloaded wallpaper. To reposition your selected image, pinch open to zoom in on it, then drag the image with your finger to move it. Pinch closed to zoom back out.
- Tap Set, then choose one of the following:
- Set Lock Screen
- Set Home Screen
- Set Both
How To Hide The Notch (With Any Photo)
Perhaps the best way to go about getting rid of the annoying indentation is to use a shortcut. To add the No Notch Wallpaper shortcut, you will need Apple’s Shortcuts app installed already, so do that if you’re not using it yet. Then, use this link, which will open the Shortcuts app to the shortcut’s details. After you’ve installed everything, find a photo you want to convert into a notch-hiding wallpaper and tap on it. Save the modified image and change the wallpaper as outlined here.
Live Wallpapers
Live Wallpapers and Dynamic Wallpapers both add movement to your iPhone’s home screen and lock screen. And while both of them deliver eye-catching animations, they’re not the same thing. Live wallpapers are still until you long-press the screen. Dynamic wallpapers are more like short video clips that play on a loop.
The best way to get them is to download an app on the App Store. There are a few that I would recommend;
- Live Wallpapers for me (free, in-app purchases)
- intoLive – Live Wallpapers (free, in-app purchases)
