Do you have iOS 17 and want to set a new wallpaper on your iPhone? We will tell you step-by-step how to do this most easily.
Set iPhone wallpaper in iOS 17
You can make your iPhone extra personal by setting your own wallpaper on your lock screen. In iOS 17, setting an iPhone wallpaper is very easy, but you need to know where the option is. No worries! We explain exactly how you can adjust the background on your Apple smartphone to your liking!
Adjust background
By default, your iPhone has different wallpapers that you can set. If you want to use your own photo, that is of course also an option. You must make sure that the photo you want to use is already in the Photos app on your iPhone. Then follow the steps below.
Set iPhone wallpaper in iOS 17
- Tap ‘Settings’, scroll down and choose ‘Wallpaper’;
- Choose the option ‘+add new background’;
- Tap ‘Photos’ and choose one of your own photos;
- By tapping the clock you can adjust the font and color. Then close the window by tapping the cross;
- Tap ‘Add widgets’ and choose the widgets you want to place. Close the window with a tap on the cross;
- Then tap ‘Add’ at the top right;
- Choose ‘Set as background pair’. You can also choose ‘Customize home screen’ to set a different photo for it.
Please note: if you choose to add widgets during step 5, it will not be possible to use the 3D effect of the photo. For example, you will not see that parts of the picture are placed ‘in front of’ the clock.
