6 Solutions to Fix Live Wallpaper Not Working on iPhone 13/12/7 Plus/6s

Solution 1. Restart Your iPhone

When you restart your iPhone, it will shut down all of the programs and processes currently operating on the system. So, no matter what unexpected issue you encounter on your Live Wallpaper not working, the first thing you should do is restart it.

For iPhone 8 and older (Touch ID models):

• Step 1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until you see the slider display.
• Step 2. To switch off your Phone, drag the slider to the left side.
• Step 3. Please return to the sleep/wake button and hold it down until the Apple logo shows on your phone's screen.

iPhone X and later (devices with Face ID):

• Step 1. Press and hold the Side button and volume button until the slider shows up.
• Step 2. To turn it off, swipe the slider.
• Step 3. To switch iPhone back on, press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo shows.

Solution 2. Disable Low Power Mode

To begin, ensure that the Low Power mode toggle is turned off. If your Apple iPhone is set to Low Power Mode, certain features will be disabled momentarily. Email fetch, background app refresh, automated downloads, and some visual effects are decreased or turned off, as are dynamic Wallpaper (live background, animated Wallpaper) and Perspective Zoom.

Steps to check if Low Power mode is on or off are as follows:

• Step 1. Go to the "Settings" menu. Select "Battery".

• Step 2. Now turn the Low Power Mode off switch.

  

Solution 3. Enable 3D Touch and Haptic Touch

Live Wallpaper only work on the Lock Screen and only when you tap and hold the wallpaper to start the animation. If 3D Touch and Haptic Touch are deactivated, they will not work (the wallpaper will become a static image).

As a result, make sure 3D Touch and Haptic Touch is turned on if you want Live Wallpaper to operate. On your iPhone, follow these steps to activate the two features:

• Step 1. Open the "Settings" menu. Go to "Accessibility" and select it.
• Step 2. Click Touch the screen. Then, select "3D & Haptic Touch" from the drop-down menu.

• Step 3. Make sure 3D Touch is turned on, then choose your chosen Sensitivity and Duration. There's a trial place at the bottom of the page where you can see what works for you without leaving the 3D & Haptic Touch settings.

  

Solution 4. Turn Off Reduce Motion

Reduce Motion is another option that will affect the functionality of Live Wallpaper. When selected, this Accessibility option decreases the Motion of the user interface. It includes things like parallax icon effects, Live Wallpaper, and app animations.

So, before we move on to the next step, make sure you disable this option. Here's how to turn off the iPhone's Reduce Motion feature:

• Step 1. Open the "Settings" menu. Go to "Accessibility" and select it.

• Step 2. Choose "Motion". Turn off the "Reduce Motion".

  

Solution 5. Set Still Wallpaper First and then Set Live Wallpaper

For some users, this simple solution to why is my live photo not working on lock screen problem works well. Give it a shot right now:

• Step 1. Go to Settings > Wallpaper > Choose a New Wallpaper > Done. Select Stills > Choose a wallpaper that you like and then hit "Set".

• Step 2. Return to Settings > Wallpaper > Select a New Wallpaper > This time, tap Live. Choose one of your favorite Live Wallpaper and Tap "Set". Your Live Wallpaper should now be operational.
