That old iOS 16 update exceeded my expectations — as a guy who’s into utility over beauty. But it’s a pretty upsetting update for wallpaper freaks.
It killed Live Wallpapers. (Look at people’s rant in forums)
Maybe Apple listened to them lately, we’ve got Live Wallpapers back in iOS 17.
To set one,
- Take a Live Photo,
- Click Share < Use as Wallpaper
- Toggle this icon →

How it works
Unlike iOS 15, the Live Photo doesn’t play by tapping and holding the screen. (That actually lets you customise the wallpaper)
