This is what your iPhone wallpaper says about you

The background of your iPhone often says a lot more about you than you think. We tell you what the background can say about you.

This is what your iPhone wallpaper says about you

Your pet, your newborn daughter or a beautiful autumn photo: almost every subject is used as a background for the iPhone. Here you can read what different types of backgrounds say about who you are.

1. Partner love

You have your partner as your wallpaper. Every time you open your phone, you are reminded that your partner is waiting for you at home. Because apparently you quickly forget that.

2. Pet obsession

Your dog or cat looks radiant on your screen. And by putting your phone down openly, you can always let others know how cute your dog or cat is.

3. My-children-are-my-everything

You have a photo of your offspring as a background and you attach great importance to relationships and connection. Or the background helps you realize that it’s too quiet… and your kids are probably up to something.

4. The inspirational quote

Your wallpaper is a motivational quote. So you can think of something inspiring while endlessly scrolling through TikTok videos.

5. The Apple fan

You still use the default built-in Apple wallpaper. This is a subtle way to let the world know that you’re okay with Siri having more personality than you do.

6. Holiday nostalgia

You have a beach photo from two years ago in Spain, because you are homesick for the sun. Or rather: nostalgia for the idea of ​​sun.

7. I live for my car

A beautiful BMW or Tesla shines on your wallpaper. It’s the cheapest way to remind yourself that one day you will own an expensive car…

8. As minimalist as possible

You have a completely black screen, because black is always in fashion. So your iPhone is always stylish, just like you.

9. ‘I-just-bought-a-house’

Your brand new interior is on your screen, because everyone needs to know that you have finally moved from that bare rental apartment to your own palace. Make sure to hide that IKEA cupboard that everyone has before taking the photo.

10. Back to nature

You have a beautiful photo of a forest as a background. You love nature or enjoy being outside. But a log cabin in the woods is definitely going a bit too far.

11. Abstract background

You are a person who likes mystery and does not reveal everything. People think you’re profound, when in fact you just couldn’t choose from the standard options.

12. The photographer

You have your own photo of a sunset or something with beautiful light as a background. You are not a professional photographer, but people should of course know that you have a DSLR.

13. The big fan

Your favorite singer, actor, superhero or influencer smiles at you every time you pick up the phone. You secretly hope that you will one day bump into them in real life. We hope so for you.

14. Your own selfie

You have a selfie as your wallpaper. We get it, you have confidence in yourself. But really, you don’t always have to look at yourself.

15. 1337 crew

You have an anonymous image, like a glitchy screen or something with a hacker vibe. You want to make everyone think you’re secretive, when you just couldn’t find a nice photo.

16. The foodie

Your iPhone shows off a close-up of an avocado toast or a bowl of sushi. Nice job, wannabe food influencer.

17. The ‘fanatic’ athlete

You have a photo of yourself running, cycling, or in the gym. But six days a week you just sit on the couch in the evening with a bag of chips.

Finally

Take all these comments with a grain of salt. Often the background of your iPhone is ‘just a nice picture’. But sometimes your background often tells you a little more about your personality and preferences. It can act as an extension of your identity, a silent signal to the outside world of who you are and what you find important. Think about that the next time you set a wallpaper on your iPhone.
