How to Set Live Wallpaper on Your iPhone XR

Share This:

Live wallpaper is a great way to customize your iPhone XR and make it uniquely yours. With live wallpaper, you can set a dynamic wallpaper that will animate across your lock screen and home screen. Live wallpapers can help you add that extra bit of personalization to your device.

If you’re an iPhone XR user, unfortunately, you won’t be able to use live wallpapers since the device lacks 3D Touch. But there are still plenty of ways to create a unique look for your device. Here’s how:

First, go into your Settings app and select Wallpaper. From here, tap Choose a New Wallpaper and then choose the photo or image you want to use as your background. If you want something that moves, choose a live photo – these photos are slightly different from static photos in that they have motion when viewed on the lock screen or home screen of the device.

Once you’ve chosen the photo or image you want to use, tap Set and then choose either Set Lock Screen, Set Home Screen, or Set Both (depending on where you want to display it). Your new wallpaper should now be visible on your iPhone XR!

Live wallpapers are a great way to customize your device without needing 3D Touch capabilities. Whether you opt for a dynamic live photo or just a static image, setting a unique wallpaper is an easy way to make sure your iPhone XR stands out from the crowd!

How to Set a Live Wallpaper on an iPhone XR

To set live wallpaper on your iPhone XR, first, go into the Settings app. Tap Wallpaper, then select Choose a New Wallpaper. Tap the Live Photos section and choose a live photo you’d like to use as your wallpaper. Once you’ve chosen one, simply tap Set and select either Set Lock Screen, Set Home Screen, or both to finish setting your new live wallpaper.

Does the iPhone XR Have Live Features?

Yes, the iPhone XR does have Live Photo capabilities. Live Photo is an Apple-developed feature that captures a few seconds of movement and sound before and after you take a photo. When you view these photos on your device, the image will come alive with movement and sound. This can be used to capture more meaningful moments that can be shared with others.

Troubleshooting Live Wallpaper Issues on iPhone XR

If your live wallpaper is not working on your iPhone XR, it could be due to the 3D touch feature being turned off. 3D touch is the technology that enables live wallpapers on iPhones, so if it’s off, your wallpaper won’t work. To turn on 3D touch, open Settings and go to Accessibility > Touch > 3D and Haptic Touch. Make sure 3D Touch is turned on and try activating your live wallpaper again.

Which iPhones Support Live Wallpaper?

The iPhone 6S and later models (not including the first-generation iPhone SE) support Live Wallpaper. Live Wallpaper is enabled by taking a Live Photo and using 3D or Haptic Touch to set it as your wallpaper. On supported devices, you can also use motion detection to create a dynamic wallpaper that responds to changes in light and sound.
