What are iPhone Live Wallpapers?

iPhone Live Wallpapers (also called Dynamic Wallpapers or Animated Wallpapers) are special wallpapers that come to life when you press and hold on your lock screen. They combine a still image with a short video clip, creating an immersive and interactive experience.

Live Photo and lock-screen motion behavior depends on the iPhone model and iOS version. Apple may change the available wallpaper controls, so check the current device workflow before relying on a preview.
