Make your iPhone and iPad your own by changing the screen's wallpaper and much more.

Wallpapers are a great way to help add some personality and customization to your device. And while you can always use your own great pics as wallpapers, Apple always provides some cool and gorgeous wallpapers with each iteration of iOS. Let's check them out.

iOS 12 wallpaper options!

With every new iOS update, there are new wallpaper options! Here are the newest and coolest from iOS 12.

New wallpapers added in iOS 13

iOS 13 adds some cool new options. The Dynamics are replaced with colored backgrounds, and the Stills have some new color gradient options to choose from. There are also new wallpapers that change between Light and Dark Mode.

Apple occasionally offers updates to iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS as closed developer previews or public betas for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac (sadly, no public beta for the Apple Watch). While the betas contain new features, they also contain pre-release bugs that can prevent the normal use of your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, or Mac, and are not intended for everyday use on a primary device. That's why we strongly recommend staying away from developer previews unless you need them for software development, and using the public betas with caution. If you depend on your devices, wait for the final release.

While you can't completely change the look and feel of your iPhone or iPad, you can give it a customized wallpaper for your Lock and Home screens.

That wallpaper can be a still image from Apple's own collection or your Photo Library, but you can also use Live Photos (on an iPhone), and choose whether to have that wallpaper remain still, or change perspective as you move your phone around. Here's how to go about it!

How to pick your wallpaper for iPhone and iPad

Changing your wallpaper is easy — you just have to pick the right image!

Launch the Settings app from your iPhone or iPad Home screen.
Tap on Wallpaper.
Tap on Choose a New Wallpaper. You can choose from Apple's stock imagery, or your own library.
Tap the type of wallpaper you would like to use:
- Dynamic: An image from Apple's stock photo library with effects that fade into view and react to your iPhone's movement.
- Still: A still image from Apple's stock photo library.
- Live: A Live Photo from Apple's stock photo library that animates after a firm press (iPhone 6s or later).
- Photo Library: An image (or Live Photo) from your personal photo library.
Select your new wallpaper to enter Preview mode.
In Preview mode, you can choose how you want your image to be displayed. Tap the option of your choice:
- Still: This displays the chosen still image as your wallpaper.
- Perspective: Your still image will change perspective slightly as you move the screen. (If you're prone to motion sickness, don't use this setting.)
- Live Photo: If you've chosen a Live Photo image, this option will let you animate the image after a firm press (iPhone 6s or later).
Tap Set.
Tap the option of your choice:
- Set Lock Screen
- Set Home Screen
- Both

Upon returning to the Home screen, you'll be able to see your new wallpaper in its full glory.
