Light and Dark Wallpapers

Hey!


I have a wallpaper which has both a light and dark version. Is there a way I could set this up so that it changes automatically, like those built in to iOS 13?

rahulon ~ I could be wrong, but I don't think it's possible. ...The closest you could get to what you want is to set up a personal automation in the Shortcuts app to display Settings' Wallpaper pane. In the Events category there's a Time of Day type where you can choose both Sunrise and Sunset to trigger the automation. The shortcut actions would look like this:



Be aware that Time of Day is one of the automations (see HERE) which cannot be run automatically:

• Arrive

• Before I Leave

• Bluetooth

• Leave

• Time of Day

• Wi-Fi


...You'll have to tap on a notification which will automatically appear. More Settings URLs HERE.
