How to Set iPhone Wallpaper in iOS 18
Of course, you can make your iPhone extra personal by setting your own wallpaper. In iOS 18, setting an iPhone background is very easy, but you do need to know where the option is. Don’t worry! We will explain exactly how you can adjust the background on your Apple smartphone to your own wishes!
Adjust background
By default, your iPhone has several backgrounds that you can set. If you want to use your own photo, that is of course also an option. You must then ensure that the photo you want to use is already in the Photosapp on your iPhone. Then just follow the steps below.
- Open the Settings app and tap the ‘Wallpaper’ header;
- Tap ‘Add New Background’;
- Tap ‘Photos’ at the top left and select the photo you want;
- By tapping the clock you can change the font and color. Then close the window by tapping the cross;
- Tap on ‘Add widgets’ and choose the widgets you want to place. Close the window by tapping on the cross;
- Then tap ‘Add’ at the top right;
- Select ‘Set as background pair’. You can also select ‘Customize home screen’ to set a different photo for it.
Please note: if you choose to add widgets in step 5, it is not 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. Furthermore, you can remove the shortcuts of the flashlight and the camera below or replace them with other shortcuts if desired.
