How to change wallpaper on iPhone using the app
iOS limitations related to downloading files over the Internet force users to look for workarounds on how to set a third-party image as wallpaper. In this case, it is recommended to turn to special applications that have a whole database of prepared pictures for the background.
Regardless of which program the iPhone owner chooses, installation will follow a similar principle. You will need to open the application, select the background you like and click the “Install” button. In short, the operation is performed in exactly the same way through the standard settings of the device.

How to make your own wallpaper
Even in such a special operating system as iOS, the user's options for choosing wallpaper are practically unlimited. For example, a person can create their own image for their desktop. True, you will have to use a ready-made picture or photograph as a template.
Next, the entire operation is performed using the built-in editor of the Apple iPhone. To change the image you will need:
- Open the Photos app.
- Select the picture you are interested in.
- Click the "Edit" button.
- Make the necessary changes.
- Save new image.
You can also edit pictures through special applications.
When creating new wallpapers, do not forget about the screen resolution. Ideally, the picture should match it exactly. Therefore, before performing the operation, do not forget to check the iPhone display resolution using the instructions or information on the manufacturer’s official website.
What applications will you need?
To make your iPhone's home screen look beautiful on iOS 14, you'll need either the standard Shortcuts app or Widgetsmith.
You can also use any other applications that provide access to widgets. For example, you can use the Apple Music widget to add a selection of your favorite music to your home screen. Everything is at your discretion. The main design rule is your needs and taste. And do not forget that it is better not to overload the main screen with a lot of things, otherwise it will simply be inconvenient for you to use it.
How to download new wallpapers on the Internet
It's no secret that the richest selection of images for screensavers is presented not in individual applications, but on the Internet. Therefore, you can use the Safari browser to select new wallpapers. Just find the image you like using any available means (through a search engine or specialized resources).
Next, hold your finger on the picture and then click the “Save Image” button. After the background is downloaded, you can install it using standard means, using the settings or the built-in Photos application.
Who are you texting with?
Push notifications from Messages and some instant messengers indicate who the message is coming from.
A fantastic scenario, but still: imagine that you left your office and left your iPhone under the nose of your boss. If he sends you a message and sees that he is saved in your contacts as “Dragon Dragon” or “That weirdo again,” you won’t have to count on a promotion.
How to put a live photo on your wallpaper
Not only a static, but also an animated picture can be used as a background image. This type of background is usually called “live wallpaper”. Their “liveness” also lies in their interaction with the picture. That is, it does not just move, but changes depending on touches or changes in the position of the smartphone.
Live pictures are available for selection in the settings (Wallpaper section). You just need to open “Dynamic” instead of the “Pictures” folder. You can also select your own Live Photos as the background by opening the appropriate album.
Setting the background is also done through the Photo application. The user just needs to select the Live Photo he likes, click the “Share” button and select the “Set as wallpaper” option.
How to put a GIF on your wallpaper
Apple iPhone does not allow you to set GIF images as background. However, this limitation can be overcome by reformatting the animation in Live Photo. To do this, you can use the Giphy app.
Open it, select the GIF, and then click the "Convert to Live Photo" button. Next, all that remains is to select a live photo and set it as a background in any convenient way from those discussed earlier.
Your medical information
But this is just a useful option. If you suddenly feel sick, emergency personnel or passers-by can retrieve your data from the iPhone Health app.
To do this, you need to fill out your medical card there: indicate your blood type and Rh factor, information about chronic diseases, allergies, etc. Contacts in case of emergency are also specified there: these people will receive a notification if you activate the “Emergency Call - SOS” function.
